Be Doing!

Friday, April 15, 2022

This morning, I saw our 98%-full Pink Moon setting in the west. Tomorrow evening, it’ll rise to 100%. I’ll be working, so I can’t get out to witness its first appearance. But tonight, sometime tomorrow, or even on Sunday, I’ll capture an image. If I’m not physically in an optimal spot or viewing at the “best time,” my brain will adjust, and a camera will accommodate.

Have I ever mentioned that I love seeing a full moon rise over a dark horizon? Oh, more than once?

My long-time friend in Kansas City and I are having heartfelt discussions by email. We grew up together and share memories from many years ago. We’re comparing our perceptions from then to now and thinking about things we hope to accomplish ahead.

She’s a natural figurative artist and writes well. Like me, she fiddles around exploring the writing part of herself. She expresses ideas well. We’re sharing and discussing points of view.

Serious thought exchanges are potent stimulants. Our conversations encourage many thoughts about creativity. Up to now, we’ve directed our energies mainly to each other.

I want to get more into action. Today, while selling chickens, I’ll listen, think, and create a story. It needn’t be excellent or good, just a narrative that says something and flows. Well, while fiddling with these thoughts, I’m realizing otherwise.

Actually, a piece that says something and flows is good writing. On such a note, I’ll continue thinking in a creative vein.

Dear Friends: Talking activates some cool ideas; my brain is buzzing. Diana
