RE: Idea-less dust

Great poem, buddy, as usual. Great photos too.

Of course I agree with what you wrote about writers block. We think very similar. Much of the time I think the cause of writers block is simply that we don't know where to begin. That is why limitations (such as a 5/7/5 syllable count or instructions such as "write about no ideas") help many folks write better.

I think also, writers block is a sign that we are thinking too much. Time to stop thinking, let the mind do it's job without micro-manging it. There is a reason why most of our best ideas happen in the shower when we otherwise aren't thinking.

As for what I believe reality is... Reality is [insert sound of my hitting a singing bowl and letting it ring out]. That is all.
