Question

Jerry Reynolds

 

Is it better to write
of that which is gone
and will not return
than that which is
with us
and will be with us
tomorrow.

  • L. B. Mek

    'this be that, Duality
    of Choice
    to seek or to hold
    to venture or protect

    this be that, Need
    for certainties
    that stifle, and squander
    these gifted blinks, of life...'
    (always a wonderful surprise
    when I catch
    one of your poetically succinct, treats
    that never fail
    to inspire my humble scribbles, my friend
    hope the New Year
    is treating you well, so far)
    thanks for sharing, dear cherished Poet!

      Thanks, L.B. Yes, it is or as the philosopher, Alan Watts called the "Double Bind."

      It's better to write, just write.... you'll find you write about both and more.... but I'm sure you already know this.

      • Jerry Reynolds

        Thanks, Dusk. I needed that pal I tend to get lazy and let the watcher at the gate screw me around.

        I don't know the right answer. I guess write about anything that makes the mind bulb suddenly light up, a phrase, a glance, a scent ....

        That choice is always with us and it just depends on how we feel when the pen first lands on the paper.
