i have found a white room. empty, save for a low chair beside the window. a window high in the trees that almost reaches the floor. and a room that devours me in it's whiteness. there is silence if you let the birdsounds go unnoticed. and i write the same sentence six different ways. i read it again and write it a seventh. i see all seven versions because i don't let computers in this room. i have a pen. and i wonder if the sentences will ever fill pages. and if the pages will ever tell a story. and i wonder if i just told one.

I have always wanted a room like that. I would add a cot for naps.

ReplyDeleteI believe you just did! Silence is a welcome friend. I can always think much better in a room devoid of noise and clutter. Some of my best thoughts come from an empty room! ~

ReplyDeleteEver since reading A Room of One's Own, I've valued private quiet space.
