The Art of Writing

Never knowing what words 

will pour or dribble from 


my pen each morning. I’ve always 

wondered how they get so many 


words into the barrel of a pen 

but I suppose that is not for me 


to know. I only have to take my 

pen from the darkness of my 


desk drawer, position it over a page 

  ~ any page ~ and words slide onto 


the pale beige surface. Sometimes so 

quickly the words look like wiggly 


worms that mean nothing; other times 

letters are shaped so beautifully 


they look like little balloons and

handsome walking sticks. 


“Creativity exists in the present moment. You can’t find it anywhere else.”

~ Natalie Goldberg



Inspired by the poem Budapest by Billy Collins
