Words to remember

Take a deep breath and write. Ride 100 miles on a bike through the countryside, pause, take a deep breath, and write. Listen to the wind as it howls to summon the return of the autumn. Pull the blanket closer, take a deep breath, and write. Turn around at your desk on the 21st floor and watch the city wake up to a meak and fragile sun. Stretch, take a deep breath, and write. Wipe off an old photograph, admire it, take a deep breath, and write. Open a birthday card, smile, take a deep breath, and write.

Because I don't want to forget this, I will write.
