Sometimes sense won't come out. I'll sit down to write my morning pages and find I have nothing to say. Or I'll write two paragraph, then run out. Or I'll have something serious on my mind but not the patience to articulate it. So I'll just write strings of nonsense words.
Parachute Maracaibo destiny pill incredulous document dogma dalmatian. Tremulous Voldemort persuasion secondary dastardly infusion narcissus castrate taxidermy mastication superfluous.
I've had many such mornings lately. This morning I was agitated. No concentration.
I had an appointment with Keith, the social worker. Then I had to come home to meet the refrigerator repairman. It's not defrosting. Cold air from the freezer is spreading ice down the back wall of the fridge. He said it won't fix. He wants to replace it.
Now we have to get the upstairs neighbours to clear their junk out of the hall so we can move refrigerators in and out. The landlord spoke to them this afternoon. They said they would do it this evening.
They haven't. I know they won't. This is pissing me off.
Nineteen more words: tear penetrate inscribe vernacular caustic morbid dining tendency crush Caligula pipsqueak. Sometimes nonsense says it all.

Date: 2005-03-04 04:32 am (UTC)I love the story of one of my favourite songs. The writer keeps many song journals / thought journals. He made a song by taking the first line from random pages, then stringing them into a sort of narrative.

Date: 2005-03-04 12:34 pm (UTC)Van, I was going to ask you about morning pages (if you did them) and so I came to your journal and you discussed them in the first post I read. I thought that was bizarre as well...
I don't know if it is a Mac thing or not, but when I view your comments, they are all stacked one word on top of the other...lol is this intentional or a "Mac thing?"

Date: 2005-03-04 05:03 pm (UTC)I've been writing morning pages since New Years 1997. I got the idea from The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, but originally I used a computer. The handwriting practice solidified after I read Natalie Goldberg's books: Writing Down the Bones, and Wild Mind. She doesn't insist on handwriting the way Julia Cameron does, but it made my habit more practical and flexible. Do you write morning pages?

HUGS! Paul
P.S. I love your posts...they are almost a form of meditation for me.
