You have shared so many moments when something small suddenly swells up, as big as a whole universe, or showing how a passing moment contains eternity. Now, you have me wanting to hear you discuss other aspects of your experience as you did on the post about your kids on Father's Day.Dan Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628603380292404658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-90919209568193540322011-07-04T11:53:25.082-04:002011-07-04T11:53:25.082-04:00Your writing is probably one of the best things ab...Your writing is probably one of the best things about your bike!

It's just for me primarily. I do not make love to existence like you do- You are so much nicer, so generous!

And then it seems to write itself when I sit down at a keyboard. Those moments, it appears, come straight from the heart, with little thought to who may see it. It's just a moment that needs to be shared...or my head my pop. ;)<br /><br />I'm just glad that when you write, you share. :)hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03306622656461205674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-45523982489707151882011-07-04T08:11:04.238-04:002011-07-04T08:11:04.238-04:00reya - the "process" is really the frame...reya - the "process" is really the frameable features of what i do. as i mentioned to terresa (above), there's more but once you start unpacking sensitive proceses, something gets lost. best to leave them be. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-77079879454798411042011-07-04T08:09:56.694-04:002011-07-04T08:09:56.694-04:00terresa there's more to it of course but i'...terresa there's more to it of course but i'm not sure it would really benefit anyone! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-48944289708239932952011-07-04T06:43:25.998-04:002011-07-04T06:43:25.998-04:00This is great and will be of great help to so many...This is great and will be of great help to so many, Steven!<br /><br />I have no writing process. I put my hands on the keyboard, or pick up a pen and just start. Sometimes while I'm writing, I'm also reading what I writing. I'll think, "Oh. So that's what's happening!" It's a process of discovery for me.<br /><br />Love the pictures!!
