Somewhere in my forties I was working down in Tucson and started to re-read these diaries-journals- explorations, became disgusted at what I'd put on paper and threw them all away. It took a lot of courage to do that. This was very close to the time I began to really write. The only other time I felt such freedom was when my father died. They were both strong links to a past I wanted done and finished and when they were broken, by the writings in the dumpster and my father laying in front of me dead as a stone, I became free. /e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
