The Muse Unrehearsed
Goldfinch60 said:
The Muse unrehearsed is so right, I sit down to write with an idea in my head but by the time I have finished the Muse has changed the meaning on many occasions.
Good write and very true.

The Muse Unrehearsed
Kurt Philip Behm said:
Nope, good questions; as most questions are. When I teach, I always tell students with so-called
\'writer\'s block\' to go LIVE some more. It\'s the raw material we all draw from. There\'s an old school of thought (which I don\'t adhere to), that says \"nothing written before the age of 40 is worth reading.\" I think it was Bertrand Russell who said it—but don\'t hold me to that.
Emily Dickinson, locked in a second floor attic, is pretty much a myth.... She lived her life vicariously through others which would never be my choice. I think, to me; that\'s why her writing has an other-wordly or ephemeral character that often wears thin.

You made me think, Kurt. Do I live to write? I know I am not writing for a living. Do I write about my living? What is more important to me, to live, or to write? Or, are all these questions stupid, irrelevant?

FredPeyer said:
I do love this poem, Kurt. Isn\'t it amazing how a song or any other event, can trigger memories we thought were long gone, and then as you say so eloquently: The past is born again.
