Random thoughts on writing...

It's rewarding to write something held or felt within one whether it be in ones normal style of the somewhat cryptic or a more direct raw style bordering on a chant or a song. Poetry comes in all styles and there are no rules. Let no one tell you otherwise. Ancient eastern poetry used repetition of a thought as opposed to sound. For example if one reads the Psalms of David in the Bible one will see much repetition of a concept. Check it out.

Anyone can write. Writing is nothing more than thoughts or feelings on paper. That's it. We do the same when we speak, it's just we use or mouths as opposed to our fingers. Mmmmm. LOL! Of course some are more conversational than others and seem to be gifted at gab. Same for writing. Some are more expressive than others... Irregardless it is rewarding and something I recommend highly. A daily journal is a great starting point. Back in 99 during my divorce it was the beginning of writing per se for me. I may not be the best and I may break the rules but it is something I truly love to do. So I do it.

But just as I sometimes wall up and say little or nothing at all so do I with writing sometimes. I can become frozen in my own ways or walls. Sometimes that is a lingering process, sometimes not. It always feels good though when something finally comes out. What we hold within us will always come out eventually in one form or another. So...
