I use C L Couch when writing formally because it is a version of my name that's genderless. And, frankly, easier for handwriting--I have a severe writer's cramp. In conversation, I go by Christopher, having been named for the boy who had the poly bear and finally being (achieving) fine with that.
I use small Xes all the time because WordPress won't let me cut and paste the text from my program page to this one. (Grrrrrr.)
I am a career educator, semi-retired due to disability. I live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania (USA).
The main photographs at this site (of the road, of me) were crafted by photographer and my friend Debra Danielson. A variety of her work is available for appreciation at
Thank you, lookers, hearers.--Christopher
Yes. For the imaginative mind, a day of nothing can often turn into a night of reflective, creative imagery (at least). Night, as you say, comes to the rescue!
Okay, I have never experienced the writers block as they call it (I must have been born with too many things to say 😀 ) but your poem here, makes a true statement my dear friend!
Blessings,
Dajena 🙂
You have many things to say, and they are good. I’ve often dealt with learners for whom writing is nothing but a series of stuck-points. I’ve dealt with peers and friends who feel this way about writing, too. This is for them. As Gertrude Stein said (she didn’t), A blank page is a blank page is a blank page. Thanks for your comments and your salutations, my dear friend.

There is something different about the night’s potential wealth, I find 🙂

You’re right. I often miss night’s richness until night happens.

‘Breath of day is ending
Yet exhale and breathing-in of
Night is more inspiring!’
