If they were characters in a novel, they would be those people always show up at the wrong time and say way past their welcome. They mean no harm, though. They just want our attention. They are kind of annoying, but once you spend time with them, they are actually quite wise and have a lot to say.
I recently wrote a piece for Tricycle (here) about the difficulty of starting. This article is less personal than I intended. Sometimes that happens. The impulse to write about something comes from a place I can feel but can't always access through the practice of writing. The tender spot between the shoulder blades often has a lot to say, as do the hips and the bundle of nerves at the base of the throat.
