Sometimes I neglect to do what I like to do. i.e. Read a book cover to cover. Other times, I do too much of what I like to do. e.g. Write everywhere else but in my manuscript. Many times, I choose one thing I like to do over the other thing I like to do. Such as and for instance, sleep instead of watch another 30 Rock episode on Hulu.
But the ONE constant? The single thing that keeps me breathing and pulsating?
Words.
In a song, in a poem, in a joke, in a whisper, in a look.
I love these lines:
Although, I admit, I desire,
Occasionally, some backtalk
From the mute sky, I can’t honestly complain:
A certain minor light may still
Leap incandescent
And the lyrics of this song.
And the dialogue in this show.
Not the mention, the prose made poetry in this book.
Plus a million other words from a million other places.
Good God.
Words rattle my foundation.
They’re my sinew and muscle.
My vast unknowable.
Made known.

Stop. it. Really, truly. AGAIN(!) you’ve read my mind and taken one of my posts in draft and made it PROMPT. We either need to stop sharing the brain or find a way to make it pay big buckeroonies for both of us.
I ♥ you, Deb!
