Long day behind.
Long day ahead.
Still can’t sleep.
So watch I the street.
Dreaming of rest
In my iron and glass nest
Yet happy and calm
And dreading the dawn

It looks like I will get a little time to sit down and write this weekend, so I am getting my head into the game with a little advice from the greats, courtesy of Maria Popova over at Brain Pickings.
I’m ordering the books she is excerpting heavily here. I am not at the stage wherein I need inspiration to write, but I am almost always in need of direction, and these aphorisms are each a finger pointing down the right road.
Have a great weekend!
