The Poetry of Scissors and Glue

There is always an element of sweet delight discovering another zone of peace and tranquility. Such-ness.

Once upon a time before someone, perhaps being blind, invented a written language they carved symbols on clay with a sharp stick, a reed.

The 20-year old Mont Blanc 149 piston fountain pen has been repaired for a cool $160. They replaced the nib threaded insert, internal plastic coupling device that locks the barrel into place when not in use and changed the piston machinery. It's a sweet feeling, this "art of writing" instrument. Been around the proverbial block and then some.

Compared to the new thicker Chopin model spilling red ink this is quick, light and sliding on the paper. In this case Moleskine. Sweet touch.

Happy writing. Say something others think but are afraid to say. Get it down now and try to make sense of it later.

Metta.
