I have always loved to write and find that the more I do it the more ideas I have. I strive with my writing to say something that others can connect to and that stirs emotion or paints a picture for someone. I had been resistant to the idea of being a poet for a long time but recently decided to embrace it. I think this is a better way to go about things. I feel that I am happier in my everyday life when I an writing ritually. I find inspiration in the most unexpected places. |

"What is that feeling when you're driving away from people and they recede on the plain til you see their specks disappearing? - It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye, but we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies" |
