The first kiss
I'm about to open chapter 14 and have a certain hesitation, like waiting for the right moment.I don't know any right moments. But there is this little love for the moment just before the moment.

Weather report
Everybody talks about the wind and the cold, especially the wind. It tears the thoughts apart, I spend days calling them back. I've got this idea that my thoughts belong to me.

Ten second essays
The poet James Richardson introduced, what he called Ten second essays in 2001. Now he is back with new ones. This is a nice cut:
"The reader lives faster than life, the writer lives slower."
It's from his "By the Numbers". I found it in Books of the Times. Thanks.
The concept is born for Twitter...so I'll copy this post right away. Maybe I should make it a #. And maybe I should hesitate a second. It's much harder than it looks to write a Ten second essay that makes the reader live faster than life.
