I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an. So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would. I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here. But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here. Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.
A rainbow of emotions is a lovely metaphor and burying some of them in the garden is exactly what we do at the same time as unearthing others. I'll be in my garden today thinking of which colors are which. Thanks Michelle. And yes it is still poetry month!
