Tuesday, 22 February 2011  'Why do you write?'  I am often asked
by people, friends and acquaintances, 'why do you write?' This
was my response to one of my pen pals a few months ago:  'I
write because words and phrases surface in my conscious mind as
on a lake and if I do not skim them off they obscure the water;
they are my restless tenants that demand meaningful outings;
they are my keepers, but I know I am merely a whistle-stop on
their way to a destination. I create the vehicle for them to get
there, but beyond that...   In a more cerebral sense, I write
(poems mostly, as you know) because that is the way in which I
divine meaning from things. It's a vocation, not really a
choice...'  1 comment:    1. "Not a choice" really!     La notte
