This Was Written On A Saturday Night

I’m most pro­duc­tive on Saturday nights. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing noth­ing all day and I’m feel­ing guilty. I’ve nev­er been one to work on Saturday after­noons, which were made for relax­ation.

The nights are dif­fer­ent though. It’s when I can con­cen­trate on my writ­ing. I’m tired. My guard is down.

The week comes pour­ing out.

This was written from the heart

With my back against the wall, I sit on the ground next to my back door, open­ing it to let the breeze drift in. Sometimes I turn my head to look out­side and smell the night air. It’s cool, no mat­ter the time of year. The street lamps are soft, and they bathe my back porch in warm light.

One can’t help but feel influ­enced by such seren­i­ty.

This was written out of order

I’ve become a slave to this blog. After some self-eval­u­a­tion, I’ve come to real­ize that every­thing is inspired but forced. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, no more.

It’s time to start writ­ing when I want.

  1. nod, makes sense.

    It’s easy for a good idea to bend into a per­fect hoop.

    The dai­ly blog­ging I find hard to do and keep say­ing some­thing worth read­ing.

  2. I nev­er try to say some­thing worth read­ing, only some­thing worth writ­ing. I find myself hav­ing a hard time keep­ing it down to only three days right now. Worth read­ing though, that’s a dif­fer­ent sto­ry.

  4. Porch would be mine too if it was­n’t for the bugs. ;) You get stars out there? There’s too much light pol­lu­tion here. It’s inter­est­ing that you men­tion the “cen­tre”; in Tai Chi, your cen­tre (Dantian, or Gate of Life) is the most impor­tant point in the body.

    And you do owe me din­ner. You’re gonna have to come to Ottawa to treat me. ;)
