An Adventure With Words

There's a lot to write about - an almost infinite list to fill a blog and give voice to a subject that may or may not need expression. I have expereinced writers block with my poetry and in some ways may still be struggling with this now. Poems come to me now (on the occasion that they do) almost fully formed and there is just a small amount of tinkering on my part. For years I would sit at my desk, invoke the muse and craft a poem from a gift of inspiration. I feel that I have somehow closed myself off from this inspiration and now I wait for its return - there is no forcing the grace of a gift. So this blog has become my medium of choice - when there is poetry flowing through me, I write poetry, when there is something I feel the need to express - from running, meditation, diet or animal rights - then I sit and write with that subject in mind. And often I come to the blog empty of agenda and write for the sake of writing. Like right now. I had no real sesne where this entry would take me but I knew there was something to write about - it's just a question of being open enough for the subject to whisper in my ear - this - and so begins the flow. I like that - an adventure with words into the unknown. And today-  this is what I found.

Peace,
Eric
