When the screen is blank, the page is too white, when imagination has gone missing or disjointed thoughts whirl out of control, I am lost, frustrated, annoyed ~
dishes in the sink always there for me to sink my hands into soapy hot water, one dish, pot or fork at a time slows my mind and words begin
to shimmy and shiver into place
with each dish washed and set to dry
a piece of the puzzle not yet written
~ words set to dry on the page.
“My creative process is quite slow. I hear melodies in my head
while I’m washing dishes and I allow my subconscious to do the work.”
~ Sinead O’Connor
