Pen and Paper….

 

 

Sometimes my had reaches for pen and paper, remembering with fondness the love I have always had for putting word to page.  The hours spent pouring my thoughts and feelings out upon the paper, expressing a full rainbow of emotions…teardrops sometimes smearing the ink.  But before long the stiffness of my fingers and the cramp of my hand remind me of my lost agility.  It’s  not the same typing it out on a keyboard…. then I seem to have lost the agility of my mind also.

So scribble if I must, I will still reach for pen and paper…my hand itching to pull the words from my mind and leave them on the page.

Quotes:

“Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals.”  Don Delillo

“Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.”  John Jakes

“Writing eases my suffering... writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.”  Gao Xingjian
