Here's The Thing

<p>In this my first act of sharing my thoughts fantasies and reflections I must acknowledge those who have always encouraged me to pursue the craft of creative writing. </p><p>It starts with the delight in the written or spoken word and I marvel how we have come from grunting to communicate to the graceful spinning of language that can transport us to a distant place or send us hurtling into the deep recesses of our own being. </p><p>Like many who write I have kept these stories and poems tucked away far from the public eye but now I feel it is time to bring to you what has been a joy and delight. It is not until you start writing that the ideas and observations come flowing into your consciousness. Unless you get it down a beautiful thought or even a clever turn of phrase will be blown in the wind never quite returning.</p>
