A Writing Life





Ideas that perk and burble

like ducks in a pond

keep my mind busy with

fragments and maybes

until I sit down to write,

then ideas swim away 

as a new idea flows 

from my pen.




“That’s the great secret of creativity, 

You treat ideas like cats: you make them follow you.”

~ Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: 

Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

I think many of those thoughts of yours burbling about are no doubt as beautiful as the gorgeous blue of this stream burbling over the rocks- but I can sure feel equally easy with the sudden change of direction your pen takes.
