I have given myself over to laziness boredom tempts me into an oblivion and I am too distracted to notice my pens. I think about writing and what I would be writing if I were writing... but thinking about writing we have to remember isn't actually writing. I read that in a book somewhere and thought it would have been obvious without needing to be written down. The nerve of some book telling me that thinking about writing isn't writing when I already knew because after all I am a smart girl, right? Now I realize that passage was there to remind me while I am lazy to get up and do sit up straight and demand my own creativity to lash out at a page or a napkin on any skin that will not give beneath the flustering blustering of my words. All of my impurities are right here on my sleeve. This is Me"---Faith Hill |

I can offer some old words When tiredness is your master When tiredness is your master The world becomes your soul When anger is your mistress And you a bad {edited profanity} When talk is with yourself But shouldn't ever be When nothing is the matter But you can't let the world go free When you sleep because you must But sick of your life - a waste Why should you sleep for want Why is there so much haste You are supposed to be grateful That you are in demand And loud-mouths with loud braces Think the world is their behind But still the tiger drags You kissing up it's tail Until you hit the tree Forget your thoughts - prevail Find the inner sense Balance with the void Find the peace you know how to get Avoid this senseless noise Dave [This message has been edited by Greeneyes (09-28-2004 09:50 PM).] |

Enjoyed this - the other night at the Range I had to grab a scrap and pen because I had thought of a couple of lines on the drive - who knows where they'll lead  Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Blunder away, Temptress. Sometimes, the pen needs a short break. And sometimes, it needs a kick-in-the-inkwell.  |

So glad you got up and did. Sounds like you ready for the next chapter. So much enjoyed and I think most of us can relate to this to some extent at least. Thanks for the read. |

Temptress, So is writing about writing different than thinking about writing some writing? And, by the way, how nice to see you writing - even about writing. As for that lazy thing, who cares?  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

I enjoyed this, Temptress, and know it very well!! I've started messing with PSP and making sigtags and have put my writing on the back burner, it seems. I'm beginning to miss it very much. So, guess mine isn't so much laziness as other creativity. Poetry is my passion, though and I miss it so much if I stay away from writing for very long. It was good to read you agsin, Lady. Hugs, Ethel |
