"But don't wait for something to happen before you begin to write; pay attention to the world around you, right now. That's what poets do."

readinginthedark It's a good word! It's kind of funny: I used to love washing dishes by hand. I would turn on some folk rock and just turn my day or week over in my mind. It gave me space to consider things. Since I got used to using a dishwasher (at age 21), it feels frustrating and tedious to me. I get annoyed even washing one or two things. It's all about perspective, I guess. 5y
BarbaraJean I love “grey sacrament of the mundane!” I get frustrated with how quickly the dishes pile up around here (no dishwasher, although I‘m used to that). But I‘ve found that audiobooks make dishwashing much more pleasant!! 5y
JMEdwards @readinginthedark That does sound very zen-like! @BarbaraJean I will have to give that a try! 5y
