Noted



Running with the wind 

is long past for me. 


But when my thoughts take a run through my mind, 

   to catch them, 

     get them down on paper, 


I am breathless 

just looking for a pen! 


I can scribble on any old surface - 

  a dry erase board, 

    one of the scraps of paper held together by a big pink paper clip  

       a napkin or paper towel

         or a preferred notebook. 

           a sticky note

    the back of my hand (very useful in my work days)

  in a pinch, the Note feature on my cell phone comes in handy. 


“Always carry a notebook. And I mean always. 

The short-term memory only retains information 

for three minutes; unless it is committed to paper 

you can lose an idea for ever.”

~ Will Self, 

English writer, political commentator and broadcaster
