This being human is an open notebook
Every morning a fresh page—
Waiting to be written on.
I am the writer
but that doesn’t mean
the others can’t write.
My notebook is open—
I love to write
and to write with love.
Some drop off
their baggage of sorrows
on my notebook and I invite it,
for writing certainly clears
the minds of those who write.
I am grateful
that my notebook
with its notes written
in different inks
and handwriting
has sent joy
and welcomed whoever
comes to write.

A brilliant opening stanza and metaphor, Jay, and I love how it develops into philosophical musing on writers and writing, and the truism: ‘writing certainly clears the minds of those who write’.
