  journaling regularly is a gold mine for me... if you haven't been lately... maybe you should more regularly.
  it's like leaving a trickle running .. just a little bit of flow...
  I find I become more observant when I journal each day...
  
  I know you used to when you were in prison.. maybe blogging everyday might help too. even if it is short. like tonight's..

  Nice tie-in with your recent status update, JC. But I can't help hoping there's a poem in the prose of the awakening, too.

  I try to explain this to me friends; to write poetry, you need to view the world through the poet's lens of expression.

  I can relate. I try too hard to write. Sometimes it is better to let the poem write itself.

  Still, if something bops you on the head, you have to go with it. It's fun.

  I went to a poetry workshop in April given by Michele Cooper. She had us write down one sentence; an unresolved conflict in our life. We then had to describe the conflict in a few minutes in prose. The next step was to translate the prose into a list of images and then use those images to write a poem. She liked concrete images...I tend toward abstract. I think it works either way. All of that just to say that I think you are on the "write" track

  actually this morning on reading this I think allowing yourself to "feel" it might also be a thought... not just see it.
  
  Often there is a lot packed in there inside that I am afraid to "look" at or to feel... or even approach.. because if I did I might feel I have to "do" something about it.
  When just allowing myself to just be with it allows it to unpack itself ...
  sorry.. it's something I'm starting to understand lately.. not an easy thing to do but very true....

  To me it seems I feel everything I see. Taste, too....
  
  Wow... really appreciate all the comments... much to swirl around in my mind's mouth.
