"You find yourself by losing yourself. By not thinking about yourself all of the time. When I am in a slump with my writing, I’ll go and walk for a week. Walk and not see a human being. Something happens after four or five days which is quite wonderful. It is an ancient thing. Your sense of smell. Your hearing. They come back."

I usually compose my haiku poems while out walking the dog.
By the way, the links from the email notifications of your posts to your blog aren’t working for me. I get an error code on your site. I got to this post via my dashboard. Thought I’d let you know, in case it’s a general technical hitch.
