the cadence of the words
maybe without rhyme or meter
but a movement, an urging,
to go on, to write further
a movement, a motion,
in the words coming together
singing a song, a whisper,
a hope, a prayer, a lyric,
that was already written
the cadence of the words
maybe without rhyme or meter
but a movement, an urging,
to go on, to read further

Flash of Joy
– 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”

Into Being
– About the
process of writing as merely writing down the words, suggested by Roberta Woods
earlier in the day. I see her point, based on the way my writing often comes
quickly. Even when I edit it as I write, it is more to get it right/write. We
had been talking about “one-book wonders” and had segwayed into a discussion of
how she writes daily and how, when she starts writing a story, it often is
prolific.
