when I write by hand, I feel comfortable. I enjoy seeing the characters form, feeling the pen/pencil glide across the page ...
when I write by hand, the table lamp casts a shadow on the paper, my hand and the pen's point, as I form words, make visible: thoughts, ideas, capture bits of information, tell a story ...
when I write by hand, I take in the sights and sounds of my surroundings ...
when I write by hand, I pause to sip my tea and stretch my fingers, exercise them a bit...
when I write by hand, memories flow forth; ideas sprout; thoughts occur; feelings of contentment wash over me ...
when I write by hand, I fill pages of prose - the words just seem to flow even tho' I might not say a darn thing...
when I write by hand, I am safe, secure, comfortable, encouraged, alive, content, present.
