Write, write freely because, more than anyone else, the more you reveal of yourself, the more beautiful you are, the more interesting, the more fecund. You give so much you give others understanding, insight, sympathy, strength, but how many are there with whom you can share your truest, deepest thoughts?

Anaïs Nin, from a letter to her father Joaquin Nin, featured in Reunited: The Correspondence of Anais and Joaquin Nin, 1933-1940

You lay yourself down.

Strip yourself of the blood

of the dirt

of the guilt.

But the water will only wash away so much,

You cannot shed what lies deep.

That which is buried in your soul,

for which you must carve out your heart

and pierce the skin of your being.

Laying yourself bare only reveals your bones.

A parasite on the conscience

that poisons and corrodes the once pure mind.

getting back into writing apparently means loosing sleep to organise my digital dictionary and read poetry
