“When people ask me where I get my ideas, I laugh. How strange – we’re so busy looking out, to find ways and means, we forget to look in.”
– Ray Bradbury, Zen and the Art of Writing

“Hard to develop the silence and humility necessary for creating good art it you are always yelling “look at me” like a three-year-old who has just shit in the sandbox.”
– Jim Harrison, From the Dalva Notebooks, Just Before Dark

Fortunately for me no one reads this blog.
Only a handful of people know if it’s existence.
Yet I publish here very day.
I must not be motivated by the attention of others.
This “public” space is for me to listen to what is within.
I can’t help reading and thinking and writing.
If this body of work remains undiscovered that is fine.
If a tree falls and no one hears it does it make a sound?
Who cares.
I am concerned with the planting of trees.
