You never know where your pen will take you

You never know when you begin

where your pen will take you.

It's like stepping into a boat

and setting sail across a lake

hoping for the wind to point you

in the right direction.

Or like diving into a pool

hoping you can float.

It's always a mystery how one word

leads to another, how you can create

a trail of words and a path appears

that didn't exist before you began.

It's always a surprise what you find 

along the way, something unexpected, 

something you've never seen before,

something you're able to see in a new light,

from a new perspective. 

You never know what you'll find 

each time you begin. It's like going 

on a treasure hunt, like being pulled 

by a magnet you can't see, can only feel 

tugging at your heart.
