This was my first attempt at poetry. I wrote it in Spain.
Si fuera yo una catedral
serías tú mi arbotante
quieto, fiel, llevando mi cargo
posibilitas nuevas alturas
juntos
dirigimos la mirada
hacia nuestro Dios
Si fuera yo un velero
serías tú mi guardafaro
ajustando las linternas
del faro del Señor
y cuando me toca navegar
por las olas de temor
un asilo
tu destello me alcanza
alumbrando con amor
Si fuera yo una piedra
serías tú mi escultor
con tu cíncel preciso y golpes
de amor tomo forma
confianza
descubrimos la obra maestra
no hay mayor
ni escultura ni escultor

We have a love/hate relationship.
"How the excitement comes upon me to tell it all! In the quest of writing, the heart can speed up with anticipation--as it does, indeed, during the chase itself of whales. I can swear it, having done both, and I will tell you though other writers may not. My heart is beating fast; I am in pursuit; I want my victory--that you should see and hear and above all feel the reality behind these words." Ahab's Wife p.147

Writing
A writer's problem does not change. He himself changes and the world he lives in changes but his problem remains the same. It is always how to write truly and having found what is true, to project it in such a way that it becomes part of the experience of the person who reads it. --Ernest Hemingway
To be nobody-but-yourself--in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else--means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. --e e cummingsNovelists . . . have, on the average, about the same IQs as the cosmetic consultants at the Bloomingdale's department store. Our power is patience. We have discovered that writing allows even a stupid person to seem halfway intelligent, if only that person will write the same thought over and over again, improving it just a little bit each time. It is a lot like inflating a blimp with a bicycle pump. Anybody can do it. All it takes is time. --Kurt Vonnegut
The writer must be in it; he can't be to one side of it, ever. He has to be endangered by it. His own attitudes have to be tested in it. The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always. --Arthur Miller
