Can you hear the bells ringing?
It's not about writing, baby, it's about being.
Here's a passage I love from Robert Rosenstone's book, Mirror in the Stone. I know you will love it too:
A Japanese artist was commissioned by an American to do a painting. The completed work had, in a lower corner, the branch of a cherry tree with a few blossoms and a bird perched upon it. The entire upper half of the painting was white. Unhappily, the American asked the artist to put something else in the painting because it looked, well, so bare. The Japaese refused the request. When pressed for an explanation, the artist said if he did fill up the painting there would be no space for the bird to fly.
