Plan of No Plan

My recent plan has been to come here and face an empty page with no agenda. To simply write what the moment calls for - to simply write. So far I have been pleasently surprised that ideas have come forth by inspired invitations. It's a deep bow to the Muse and the Taoist plan of "no plan" along with another read of Kerouac's Dharma Bums that allows a certain writing without care for results. The truth is I haven't been truly inspired to create - to write yes, but to commit to the creation of a poem - no. Unfortunately. But I am committed to my practice of writing, as committed as I am to my running, kettlebells and meditation. I write daily regardless of the whims of the Muse and Her whisperes of promised poetry. So I think of this as an act of courting the Muse and staying true to my practice. My one motto - it doesn't have to be good, but it has to be words on a page.
So here they are.
