Words really matter. Blavatsky said 'the universe is never again the same for every word spoken!'. Reading and writing poems and poetry helps me concentrate on words, thoughts, feelings. My first son, Andrew, has Down's Syndrome and he allows me to see the world differently and that's a great source of inspiration - as are my sons Angus, Adam and wife Amelie...........words, poems, feelings ...........Love - of course!!!
The very real attachment to fictional characters. Victorian England was united in their protests after Arthur Conan Doyle killed of Sherlock Holmes, so much so that he had to bring him back from the Reichenbach Falls.
yes... reminds me of how we want to hold -- literally in our arms -- at times, people that we can't have. Like Kate Winslet in The Reader. She might as well have been digital... I'll never be able to tell her how she made me feel.
I love this. Seems silly, but feels sublime.
