Refilling the Well

Sometimes

you empty your well

and

need to refill it

so

you find a lake

and a kayak

and you set off

and all is quiet

and

the sky so blue

the clouds so white

above

and

below

and

you stop

and let the well

refill

ahhhhhh

you say

ahhhhhh

Between Books

When you finish writing a book

you might feel as bare as that tree above

and you need to stand there a while

and soak up that white snow

that blue ocean

that blue sky

that crisp air

until you're ready

to come to life

again

Pattern and Story

I am drawn to pattern

- not rigid, symmetrical pattern - 

but to pleasing balance

In life as in story

I need to see the particular 

and understand how it relates

to the whole

It wasn't until I got home

from my walk

that I noticed the similarities

in the scenes that caught my eye

much as, in writing a story,

the patterns are not always evident

until I complete a first 'walk' (draft)

but then, once noticed,

the task is to oonch them to the surface

right?

What does it all mean??
