Again and again, you show your gift of creating so much meaning within such a tight frame. This one is a great and staggering example.
Can't help but think of the cliche that goes, "I would have written a shorter letter but I didn't have the time." I wonder about your creative process. Does it come to you easily, these exquisite compositions, or do you labor?
However they come to be, they are each amazing, unique creations.
Tom, I come across much of these compositions much like you do by reflecting. Most of the time they materialize when I'm thinking about someone. Or, I could be walking down the street and a random kind gesture bestowed on someone by another stranger inspires me. It could be a particular word that I read, just by the pure fact that I loved how it sounded or felt like when I speak it. Many things can inspire me. But the main reason I keep such few words is b/c it challenges me. Keeps me at bay when I'm not in full writing mode.
