I loved the image of tucking the seeds in!<br /><br />My writing teacher Judy Delton would have us write a 5-10 minute memory at the start of each class and it was amazing the things the class came up with. Several of us in the class still continue to meet and we always begin with this activity. When given a writing prompt and set time limit, something always seems to flow from the pencil. We always comment on why we can't be so productive when we're sitting at home at our writing desks the rest of the week.David LaRochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146141298496287697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339010711047634783.post-70304174259881576712009-11-11T12:18:52.298-08:002009-11-11T12:18:52.298-08:00That is what is so amazing with writing-- just put...That is what is so amazing with writing-- just put pen to paper and who knows what will emerge and what connections are made!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131575604953515285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339010711047634783.post-15371087814151116552009-11-11T11:03:23.148-08:002009-11-11T11:03:23.148-08:00The connection between the stonewall and the irreg...The connection between the stonewall and the irregular ear of corn didn't occur to me before I started, only while I was in the process of writing.

I think I will try this... starting today! <br /><br />I also love the story/memory you shared. The corn's "golden wall" mirroring your father's was a wonderful interplay of images. Great detail too-- perhaps there is a book in there someday?Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131575604953515285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-339010711047634783.post-34734943199180106142009-11-10T10:32:06.212-08:002009-11-10T10:32:06.212-08:00Christy, what a beautiful memory, a treasure.Christy, what a beautiful memory, a treasure.betsy woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02184459417101821755noreply@blogger.com
