Teaching Freshman English & presented Bukowski recently - his poem on writers writing - the rant, the rave, the energy to write and to have the burn to do so....is it mine? Is that energy compelling me to write? The answer in times gone by was a resounding 'Yes'. The answer now has blurred with life. Life! Challenges and the daily grind - the routine & parts of living that our parents talked about to each other - the parts of living that we may have turned a blind eye towards - as life's adventures, lessons and most certainly love - prevailed. Love included and continues to encompass Living & Politics and those core values of our youth ...the principles of philosophers and the principles of our younger self. Our truer self?
And so it goes..from teenage questioning - to youthful experimentation............
The now of it - not so clear, not so definitive.
Travelling too quickly from youth to age & wondering about the in-between. What is it that threads the life-force and what is it to be passed along to the next generation?
Namaste.
