“The quiet joy

of not knowing

was no more.

But once—

in Old Times,

you simply lived,

without proof.”

Yess a world without answers. I miss that so much. I have tried many times to write about that, and I can’t. I thought you put it beautifully here. Well done.

I'm glad to hear you relate to this one. ✨️

You write so well. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right words. Then the wait is valuable part of the process, and cannot be overlooked. 🙌

It’s cheesy but sometimes I like to think of myself as a writing predator. I’m just watching thoughts, hoping thought show up. and when one finally strays from the pack and presents itself, I try to hunt it down by writing.

it’s super cheesy, but that’s sort of how I look at it. otherwise those in-between periods drive me NUTS!

My quirk is that I believe all ideas just float above us. Anyone can grab one and run with it, but not everyone will. ✨ So whenever I get a brilliant idea, I feel like I have to hurry, because now it’s out there, available for anyone to catch.
