Stars Blue Fishing
For many years, i have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. the color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. and the color of where you can never go.

So, eventually, he made one final arrangement with himself, which he has religiously held to ever since, and that was to count each fish that he caught as ten, and to assume ten to begin with. for example, if he did not catch any fish at all, then he said he had caught ten fish - you could never catch less than ten fish by his system; that was the foundation of it. then, if by any chance he really did catch one fish, he called it twenty, while two fish would count thirty, three forty, and so on.

Most eyes have more than one color, but usually they're related. blue eyes may have two shades of blue, or blue and gray, or blue and green, or even a fleck or two of brown. most people don't notice that. when i first went to get my state id card, the form asked for eye color. i tried to write in all the colors in my own eyes, but the space wasnt big enough. they told me to put 'brown'. i put 'brown', but that is not the only color in my eyes. it is just the color that people see because they do not really look atr other people's eyes.

Cheer Writing Spirit
Sometimes when i get up after writing, i'm surprised at how my body feels. suddenly i'm not a lanky, hungry young boy any more. it's no fun putting on ten years and fifty pounds all of a sudden. other times, i get up and i'm pleasantly surprised that i'm not a weary innkeeper, hopeless, with bones that feel like they're made of lead. i really sink into the characters that i write.
