Balance

"The world is a balance of composition and improvisation, that music and religion are echoic and that writing is spiritual."

I read this quote the other day from a local poet, Norman Weinstein. I had to stop and think about the idea for a minute. And I realized that on some days that isn't so far from the truth. Writing for me is spiritual. There is something rhythmic and blessed about putting my thoughts onto paper. The process mimics the composition and improvisation that is also the world. My conscious thoughts get a chance to meet my subconscious thoughts as the pen meets the paper.


And for this I say Grace.
