Where does writing begin

Grown by sunlight of presence

Time & nourishment & love

Words float in on the breeze

Begin Here - Try For Yourself

Enjoy the day

Feedback session

At end of exercises

How ideas work

No material body

With consciousness

With will

Ideas search for available and willing partners

You might miss the signal

The idea may try to wave you down

Until the day when you are open

Lead In…

Lost, in search of a word

I chose another word

I wrote, balanced

I was not satisfied

With this substitute

But I used it

Lost, or confused by love

And its loss

I wrote about departure

I was not satisfied

With this leaving

But I left anyway

Lost, in need of explanation

I asked

Why do we hang things on walls

I was not satisfied

By the three ducks flying

But I used them

Now, or as near to

I must

And I do

I was not satisfied

With the must

But I did…

 

Stepping Points

How many times

How many more times

Why

Do I disrupt my own self

Why

Do I ponder

On that which is not wonder

So then

How many times

How many more times

Once more

To look at the clock

Once more

To look at the clock

You can stay all night

If you want to

How many times

How many more times

Why not take hold

Take hold of the doubt

Which dismays you so

How many times

How many more times

So think on

Think on of the hopscotch

As you count from one to ten

Bring Into Being

Any more

Than it is possible to be

Than it is possible to feel

As I taste the satsuma orange

And crunch the Swedish roll

Which carries Port Salut cheese

Any more

Than freedoms may offer

Or doubts could take away

As I taste the strawberry jam

And crunch the Swedish roll

Which carries Port Salut cheese

Is this in the least bit obsessive

Do you think that it tells you

Anything at all

Of what I want, or need, to say

I came here

With a clear vision

Reminded to me

By the transcendental music

Playing on my stereo

But now

Well, by now

You might believe that I have forgotten

Or was that it, all along
