              A Mad Dash

Mind races with words 
A mad dash to my notebook
I must not forget

I’ve learned the longer I’m out on a run the more great thinking strikes.

Have you noticed this too?

Maybe it’s during a hike, bike ride, or walk when it comes to you. I’ve heard some tell me it’s when they’re in the shower. (I haven’t found this to be true for me yet, maybe I need to hang out in the shower longer)

Anyways, I find it’s on my early morning runs when words come, poems begin, and ideas swirl in my mind. I’m eager to come home to write them down.

My hand dashes across the page with no worry about complete sentences or misspellings. It almost looks like a list, a random chaos of words yet it’s a start. And I feel this sense of accomplishment and happiness that most of the words and ideas are now on paper.

May you get some time today to be alone with your thoughts and ideas—I hope you write them down.
