You could do this while hiking in a difficult terrain

The author of Kilimanjaro: A photographic journey to the Roof of Africa composed a song in the language he learnt in the four days he was in the mountains hiking.

Joys of poetic acquaintances

I came across Those Winter Sundays in The 100 best African American Poems and recognised having read it before. There was a sudden surge of interest in eating and staying awake.
I try to get my hands on whatever poetry lies on the racks in the town library. I leaf through words and most times miss their connection in the poem, looking for that poem which spikes my interest in its wholeness, some relay themselves much later.

Desires

because desires do not split themselves up, there is
one desire
touching the many things, and it is continuous

Human Wishes, Robert Hass

Is it the school of reason that goads you with a stick to just find one reason for an action that leads us into the single desire conclusion?

Desire is among other things a function of repitition or so the very patterns of life have led you to believe.
