flex time

Post by saw » March 14th, 2018, 7:27 am

no electricity this morning
the coleman lantern lights my fantasy
no computer, no tv, no radio
not enough good light to paint
but here on the sun-porch
even on this drizzly beginning
I can write myself
like a ship listing to starboard
I am compelled
to accept....my power
has nothing to do with electricity

a listing ship writing itself - nice allusion, nice pun! & the poem's message is quietly true.

Re: "...my power has nothing to do with electricity."

Knowing that plugs one into True Self.

This climate thing seems to be going wacky, but maybe it's always been like that..

was just reading the poem and comments and spotted careless typo
funny thing is I had already read it about fifty times
