Like everyone else
I used to complain
of writer's block.
Now I understand:
creative work
takes the time
it needs,
IF you let it.
We can't push the river
or go against the flow.
[ calling it 'work ethic' ]
and truly birth the
Real Thing
struggling to be
born. *
I understand that
ALL
important creative work
does not occur
at the keyboard,
easel, or view finder.
Life
is all the time
You Need.
Fondly, Cloudia

* "Words of truth ARE paradoxical"
Lao Tzu is right.
The art of writing
is the art of applying
your bottom
to the seat
in front of the Keyboard.
If you would BE a writer:
Write. Your life
(if you are lucky)
will become a
writer's life.
