I place wood on the fire. This done, I make coffee and put a period on the end of this sentence.
... and begin another.
My landlord tells me I scare old people - he's 83. I'm 66. He does not elaborate his statement but moves on to the next thing on his mind. He asks, "Have you seen my circular saw?" I told him I had not seen it. Some weeks later I was working on one of my bicycles out in our shared garage. I was looking for something myself when I noticed a circular saw on a table in the corner. I picked it up walked it across the road to the landlord's house knocked on his door. When he opened it I held up his saw. He looked and smiled. He asked me, "Where did you find it ?"
Later that day I was out walking my beagle on the ridge behind the gravel pit. He hit on a hot deer scent and went spastic. Hot deer scents are his favorite game. I could tell by his song what the animal was. I said, "Find ! Find it ! Hunt 'em up, Wyatt !" The trail led over the ridge and down the backside into the forest all the way to the river. Wyatt wandered confused & perplexed and pissed off at losing the scent there. I knew the deer had crossed the river at that point which must have been a struggle. The river is still high and the current strong & swift. I hope she made it to the other side.
Zuihitsu is the best thing that ever happened to me as a writer. It suits me to a T. I did not discover the form until late in life.
I will zuihitsu now until I die. Japanese women tend to have perfectly proportioned legs relative to their size. It drove me crazy when I was there.
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
......the action here is nil, but what's new?.....lovin Zuihitsu it's like mind candy for the soul......anyway ya want it and that's fine by me
