I feel like I have so much to say. I used to write volumes and volumes in my journal about how I was feeling, because my emotions were so overwhelming and rapid that I thought a million words could hardly keep up with them all.

But suddenly I'm finding joy in these short poems I've been writing, which demand choosing words so carefully and yet seem to me to communicate how I feel so much better than rambling.

I guess it's really only communication if someone is listening... or is it? If a tree falls and nobody's around to hear it...?
