Choose your story

Maybe by the end of the course you’ll choose what story to write.

To write is to explore
A course is life
Maybe is all there is

Teaching my life

What I’m teaching is my life
What you’re learning is story writing
Perhaps

Bright line of old people poetry

I was going to tell you about the 17 or so poems I wrote in response to an event to figure out what happened, to ask myself what I could have done differently, to ask myself why this was so disturbing to me, to ask myself why this event had me over so many weeks so engaged. But I won’t do that. The end of it was that I discovered something I could have done.

But that’s the point: reflection is the province of age, and the bright light of old people poetry. It is hard work, and a most rewarding thing to do, now.

:- Doug.
