I shall cherish it forever, though it in no way describes the actual master chronicler Wayne Allen Sallee. Speaking of keeping up, I just discovered a comment of yours from a month or two back that was hung up in WordPress’ ever vigilant automatic moderation. Don’t have a clue as to why it isolated it (unless you stuck out your tongue while you were writing it), but I freed it up and answered it. Thanks, amigo, and remember: “…grass don’t grow on a busy street.” – Sully Now that’s a comment in a class by itself!

So much richness in the writing; so much to think about. But two sentences in particular struck me with this post: The favorite vegetables line (it belongs on a t-shirt), and the one about finding the flashes of light in the broken glass of your dreams. (I think I will make that my writing mantra for 2010). Jeanie’s comment is transferred from the main blog:

You add some delicious terms to the mix (definitely sans veggies), thank you very much. Guess I'm always interested in that entry point between tangible and intangibles. Sort of like trying to find the bridge between quantum theories of medicine and biology based theories of medicine. In the case of creativity not sure it can ever be totally defined, though. Maybe that's good. Maybe that's what makes magic magic. If we COULD nail that intersection, would we lose the copyright to our thoughts and the patent to our souls? -- Sully Not bubble-brained at all, and pinning down the morph ground zero is what it’s all about.

But it was not totally bubble brained :-) Words and conscious thought intersect with inspiration and imagination. But where? Too often it's sans perception. A metacognitive examination of where words enter our thought process when inspired -- might morph more tangible words worth writing. Anne Sully,

Well, now I'm looking forward to "getting lost" more often. After reading the essay and sleeping on it, this morning's ride through the mountains provided provoking head chatter. The debate was if WRITING WITHOUT WORDS is writing words using non-carboned form or maybe WRITING WITHOUT WORDS is what happens prior to non-carboned writing. When I got to the light, I chose work and will still have to dream about getting a printout of something in carbon form. Thanks for stirring up the veggies. Anne Anne Sully,
