Papers

I could read this so many ways just changing context...gonna go ponder this a while. Many many hugs headed your way ☺

It's a mixture of themes - first of all I have been making craft paper in the forest - but it is also about writers block :-) hope that helps your pondering :-) Much many Hugs :-)

Little confusing

it's a mixed them about Celtic paper making and writers block - not sure if that helps? thank you for the visit :-)

Read this 10 minutes after posting my latest, coincidence or fate.

Maybe something is speaking to us both.

Either way, I like yours better.

Great post.

yeah that was pleasantly freaky and sorry - yours is better :-) thank you muchness :-)

I really enjoyed this David .. knowing you created the paper makes it that much more special .. contemplating the blankness of it before finding the proper words to bleed onto it ... and would it add or take away? .. well done !

I am making the paper from forest ingredients and the plan is to write with a quill and natural ink a Haiku about the forest :-) thank you I am glad you liked it :-)

That's wonderful David ... I have a dear friend who has kind of adopted me, she's 84 and a wonderful artist  .. she has portfolios of paper she has created from nature that she has shared with me, they are breathtakingly beautiful  ..  how wonderful that you have found another avenue for your creative spirit ... ♡

Paper making is an art just as poetry. To create both is a gift indeed. To pen it even more so.

thank you so much I got a lot of satisfaction doing it gonna scribe a tree haiku on it and stick it in a frame :-)

giggles this is wonderfully clever :)

thank you so much enjoyed making the paper and writing the poem :-)

O, David...the history, behind the ancient art of crafting paper, truly is fascinating!  To think that the whole process, from beginning, to finished product, was entirely processed by hand! It is inspiring to discover that you have been given the opportunity to create own special piece! And, just as with this poem,that sheet will contain a part of you....remaining as a sort of legacy.

Mo Chara ...may  the spirits of the Druids whisper inspiration in your ear,....  and  may the soul of the tree, that contributed to your paper creation,guide your pen.... as your blank parchment fills with words that honor your forest haven.

Truly enjoyed the metaphor of this one--both figuratively, and literally! .

I think the spirits of the Druids are whispering inspiration in my ear it's a magical place :-) so glad you enjoyed it :-) Big massive Hugs  :-)

I have read this so many times and am sure to read it many more! These words fill my mouth liken to the sound of music filling ears! Excellent!!

thank you so much, that was such a big thing to say :-) - the paper making was a process and now using natural ink and a self made quill I am gonna write a forest haiku on it :-))

I am so glad you liked it :-)
