If I went back to change stuff my work would never be done. Once in ink, done.

It's okay to switch it up, approached differently it can become a totally new piece.

I write to sort out my thoughts and feelings. My writing is a reflection of my spiritual and emotional journey through life. Because my thoughts and conclusions change with meditation and experience, my poems may change as well. Sometimes, a piece I have written in the past, becomes something completely new, based on where my path has taken me. As a person, I am not static, and therefore neither is my work.

Sometimes like sculpture... add this, move that, trim, polish, add...
Like painting, sometimes paint after, sometimes before, collage.
Almost, not quite, but close, no but maybe a little more,
There, that's it.
Ah, but look at this, no no.
Ooh what is that?
That's pretty.
