like saying there's been no air to breath today
it is done in the mind before we are even awake
we are conduits like that watch taken off: time
has no need of it: writing has no need of us: if we
do not accept the task then it finds another that
will: writing is like the air that we breathe: when
we pass all we have written and all we have failed
to write will come upon us like music: a chant that
we failed to teach and we will be sent again and
again until we pause and write even if only in air
[i] “a piece of thought in motion” from Notes from Across the Blue Couch:
not everything is the way it is.
