tattoos ii

As Dr. Johnson said,

“People need to be reminded more often than they

need to be instructed.”

CS LEWIS
I so agree with that. It is why I want a tattoo every so often, to be reminded of whatever inspires me or sparks a desire some days.

Most of these words or fragments are embedded in my head for who knows what reason. Mostly they’re from a sentence read. I read (endeavor to, anyway) every morning while I drink my chai and beyond. Mornings bring me a freedom I envy the rest of the day (not really envy, but lack perhaps is a better word — really?), so when I read in the a.m. words super-influence me. It’s why I wrote my second novel before going to work, although it meant waking up in the wee hours. But that’s when my thoughts and spirit are smooth and fluid.
