In My Own Ink. Writing the moments through prose and poetry musings. Sunday, July 28, 2013. Today I attended a "Red Book" workshop led by Nina Ross. To learn about Jung's concept and to begin to create a "red book" of my own. Jung recorded his dreams, in word and image. He encouraged his patients to "Put it all down, as beautifully as you can.". During the class, I recorded this recurring dream that had first appeared when I was a child. Tuesday, July 9, 2013. Large Moon Over Seal Beach. Reeling in no one.

In My Own Ink: April 2013

http://pennerink.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

In My Own Ink. Writing the moments through prose and poetry musings. Sunday, April 21, 2013. If My Heart Were Planted. My heart is like a flower bulb. Dormant, dry, but bold. Waiting to be planted.

Warm and safe and growing. In darkness, deep inside. My roots absorb the nutrients. While wrapped in earth’s cocoon,. Years later, fr...

In My Own Ink. Writing the moments through prose and poetry musings. Sunday, October 5, 2014. Headed North: A Poem. In the dark, in the rain. Paralleling the city's backbone. Listening to Prudy's CD.

And it's still okay. And lightning chooses that. To flash inside the clouds. Silhouetting ​jagged blackness. There was ...

In My Own Ink: Why Ballet?

http://pennerink.blogspot.com/2014/01/why-ballet.html

In My Own Ink. Writing the moments through prose and poetry musings. Sunday, January 5, 2014.

Before the sheets of paper on which these short essays were written go into the recycle bin, I've decided to recover the ideas from the dust of my rusty Spanish.
