Or I leave the house and take a very brisk walk up into the meadows and forests overlooking the ocean. While walking, I can work out trouble spots and rethink beginnings, and endings.
I keep a work-table next to my computer, all set up with inks and paints and ready to approach whenever I need to work out frustration on some abstract watercolors that I love to make. Walk or paint. It never fails to loosen up the literate side of my brain.(less)

Making an Impression

I never met a field of snow I didn’t want to impress. You know what I mean—a field of snow on which to throw myself down and fling my arms out wide. Moving them back and forth I clear a semicircle shape out of the white snow, making a snow angel with my body.
My body has learned a lot about its limits, as well as all the fantastic things it can do, by pushing against the material world.
