Sketch by douglas brent smith - Creative Play Sun Wings
Accidentally doubled this image and then liked it so, here it is.
Poem: how?
how do you do it?
i'd like to know because
it would make it all so
much easier
it seems to come naturally
to you
like getting off a bike
or combing your hair
and
you never seem to
give it much thought while
i can't seem not to
how do you do it? because
after all this time and
so many hard, rough lessons
i still have not learned how
is it an affliction? is it a choice?
befuddled. ruffled. resolute. stuck. tightly
held yet no longer held
dropped like a rock into a still pond that
stays still
how do you do it?
how do you stop loving someone?

My ever so humble home office. I like how the sun is shining thru the door on the wall just above three of my collages.
