“Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes, to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe.”
– The Hollies, The Air That I Breathe (written by Mike Hazlewood / Albert Louis Hammond)
__________
All I need is the pen in my hand.
The will to write.
This comes from deep within.
No further equipment nor encouragement is needed.
Don’t need a fridge magnet or bumper sticker to encourage me.
No need to align myself with the universe.
No muse to be summoned.
But I do need to read books.
Learning how it has been done before.
Then have a go myself.
No better way to improve than through practice.
This is not a brag. My practice ain’t perfect.
More a friendly reminder to make do with what I’ve got.
All I need is the pen in my hand.
Because I love this.
