I think of my dad, an engineer with 21 patents, who advised his protégés: "Just put something down on paper." Usually the act of writing itself leads to the flow of ideas spilling through my fingers. Also, to be honest, since I started a regular meditation practice in 1972, I have rarely had writer's block. Before that, I was plagued by indecision, procrastination and lack of confidence. Regular meditation (in my case, the Transcendental Meditation technique) made those things recede and the magic of writing takes center stage. (less)

I'd like to go before the War of the Rings starts, when times are peaceful and everyone is relaxed and playful. Somehow their woodland home tugged at my heart, perhaps because it reminded me of the forest I grew up in, in which I imagined elves and fairies hiding under the umbrellas of the mayapple plants and making cozy homes in the hollows of trees.
