A creative life is filled with challenges and rewards, puzzles and curiosities. This ongoing series of poems attempts to express the “Aha’s” and “What ifs”, the deep ponderings and casual observations of an inquiring mind trying to make sense of reality. May it serve, for you, as a bit of “Everyday Inspiration” along your own creative path.
Creative projects

Their own time…
Know
Their own time…
They wait
Like a caterpillar
In a cocoon
Until the time
Is right
Then
Sprout wings
And take flight.

Thank you for these notes. I went through a long list, seemingly all by Diane Pedersen and was grateful for them. I'm going to start setting up projects in the evening so that I can go to it first thing in the morning. That might be exciting enough to make me want to get up early.
