hmmm....a day away from the computer. no writing at all, except for this post. but i did excellent writing last night, so good i wanted to cry. i watched radiohead videos for about an hour, and got an idea for a scene in my novel, and came in to write. it went well, it flowed. i think watching someone else be creative - express their creativity - helped me be more creative. i wrote some damn good phrases last night. not entire sentences (that is too much to ask!) but some good phrases.
on the drive north for dinner, ry played weezer's "island in the sun." made me remember costa rica, the beach, the water, the coolness factor of the jamaican/costa rican people.
poetry for the day: ee cummings:
"here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)"

that's my favorite ee cummings. i read it at the wedding of two friends six years ago, then they read it at the wedding of friends the following year, then both of those couples read it at the wedding of yet more friends the year after that.
