Flash of Joy – v2

Flash of joy
Inspiration, epiphany
On the page before me
As I write,

Seeing it appear
Knowing it is right
Clear, concise

Embodiment,
Momentarily,
Of mind’s eye
and fleeting thought

Gone in an instant
captured, frozen
in mid-thought

February 2, 2004 11:44 – Written in reaction to the response to the poem "Into Being",
by Roberta Woods – “Love it! You've captured the essence of writing not as a discipline but as joy.
And it is because it is pure joy (the agony comes later during revision)
it is not a discipline in the sense of having rigid edges. All doing from joy is a gift
to the doer as well as the recipient whether cooking, writing, gardening or any other activity.
My joy activities are writing and carpentry.
All the rest require me to have discipline to get them done. –Roberta”
