    Time and Place

    I listen to many sounds and spend days moulding their tone and character. I tread carefully, slowly, as if I find myself in woodland and my slightest motion would startle the comfort of grazing deer. I keep myself in that secluded spot until I sense it right to move.

    Building well takes time and place, real and imagined.

    Be True To Self

    A politician is sacked from government for standing firm in principled opposition to his party. Dissent is the essential ingredient of progress.

    Speak your mind, be strong in voice, be certain of your view today, disobey, stand resolute, declare your strongly held belief, despite the censure, rage and blame, be true to self with pride, with confidence proclaim.

    The Sound of Words

    When I write a poem I choose to rhyme. I write to plant pleasure with its tone as much as the discovery of its meaning over time.

    The sound of words have been and will remain profoundly important to me. It is not just the meaning of words I value, but their flow and form, their rhythm, how they are said, when they are spoken, and by whom, in mind, or through the air. Words sound as well as mean.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
