| Introduction | I'm stuck on words. And images. Oh, and textures. I like an idea that makes me think, but if I have to pull out a pencil to figure it out....that's too much like math. Take those ideas to my husband. I once read the words of a very wise man who intended to spend 20 years growing up, 20 years living, and then spend the next 20 years writing about it. I think I may have taken a little longer to do the growing up part, but the living part is exciting and rich, and I've been paying attention to it happening so that I can now write some of what I have observed. I hope you find something of value in my Thursday-ish musings. Why Thursday, you ask? Monday and Tuesday are very busy for me. Wednesday is too finely balanced in the middle of the week, and Friday is busy again, with my mind on other things. Thursday, though, is like an eddy of time in my busy life. It's the day I'm most likely to spend with a friend, or painting a watercolor, or writing. I'm not all that good at deadlines, however, so I'm only promising Thursday-ISH. It might be later, or I may feel perfectly balanced and write something brilliant on Wednesday. One never knows... |
