Watching & Waiting: a dance into the setting sun
I have been more inclined to wait for my vision of an image of late. I used to settle for what life gave me. Now I bide my time, watch for the skies to do what I want. An apt metaphor for how life changes

Chasing the Muse: on writer's block
My writing muse has escaped her cage and run for the misty autumn hills. Now the words will not come. I can feel them all stopped up in my chest. Block is the right word. Perhaps I need my grandmother.
