Hi Jason,

Sure, if that is in the mind while writing and what kind of writing being done at that moment. Whether it is for meditation, prayers, or simply thinking something spiritually while scribbling personal thoughts in a journal/blog/etc. Writing can take many forms also from being therapeutic, cathartic, or a simple brainstorming! When I am writing a story or a poem, I can’t say for sure. I just write. It’s fun. Thanks for posing such an intriguing question. :)(less)
Pupola Hmm…what’s under the community garden mulch? Alex digs and found a vampire squirrel skeleton!

“I had forgotten the joy of strolling around on a moonlit night.

It was far too long in the past where rain fell light against my skin. My spine tingled, and my little arm hairs would stick straight out. I strolled around where wishes and wonders hibernated. I had it for the briefest moments, perhaps in some weird kind of eternity, if you philosophized about it in the right way. Yet, I couldn't turn away from what I knew was inescapable.”
Pupola, A Mindful Wilderness

“In the void of the mind, what are your dreams?”
Pupola, Never One

“Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.”
Jules Verne, Around the World in Eighty Days

“Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be.”
Abraham Lincoln

“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”
John Lennon

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions.”
Albert Einstein

“All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.”
William Shakespeare, As You Like It
