i became very
quiet, and almost sad. i wrote a lot
in my mind, but never on paper, and thought a lot
about not much at all, now that i think about it.
to think is to understand. or a stepping stone to it.
i remembered recently that i need to write.
i needs words like i need air, i need to
understand what it is i'm feeling because if i don't,
i don't think i'm feeling anything at all.
to feel is to understand. or a stepping stone to it.
i've written four poems about how i don't understand.
three sonnets about feelings i'm trying to understand.
two haikus of wondering what i understand.
one sentence of understanding that i'll never understand.
i'm older now. i've grown. i've thought and felt,
but i haven't written.
to write is to understand- the stepping stone to it.

i'm much happier than i have been :)
