Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How are you today? JOE: Bracing for winter. CALLIOPE: Tell me more. JOE: Just as I am reviewing late Fall and Winter scenes from Marital Property, the first winter storm arrived here in Western New York. CALLIOPE: A double whammy. JOE: Indeed. My real and fantasy worlds are both preparing for a long siege of blustery weather. CALLIOPE: Does that depress you? JOE: I must admit I prefer sitting in the back yard in shirt sleeves. CALLIOPE: Any advantages to winter? JOE: Overall I do less traveling and become more focused on indoor activities such as writing. CALLIOPE: Not a bad thing. JOE: No, it isn't. Sometimes I wonder if I would appreciate summer if I did not have winter for contrast. CALLIOPE: You might take it for granted. JOE: Perhaps. But I'll use whatever incentives I can find. Talk with you tomorrow. |
