Several months ago, Francesca at Words/Love provided advice for aspiring writers. She advised other writers to keep pen and paper close at hand. More and more, I do this. This morning, about 6:00, I woke up with poetry on my mind. I scrambled, grabbed writing gear, and jotted ideas down. I hope I can flesh the ideas out over the next few days.
It is during unexpected times or quiet moments I find creativity. Kathy surreptitiously took this picture at Kootenai Lake in Glacier National Park. I was feverishly scribbling ideas that had popped up during the hike. It was easy in those surroundings. I hope to continue now that we are home.

Revitalize one’s spirit
Serenity sought.
I will see you on Monday; oki until then.
I agree, it’s often when you least expect it that creativity turns up and gives you great ideas and thoughts. Sometimes it’s hard to remember them afterwards, so it’s a smart thing to carry pen and paper wherever you go. Thanks for the idea!
i agree, i always suggest my friends the same after reading it from someone. we should keep a pen and a small writing pad handy. i often use my cellphone for this purpose.
