No Darkness_ No Diamonds

							  No Darkness, No Diamonds

       If life is going well,
       don't write.
       Know why?
       'Cause you can't.

       Know why?
       'Cause your creativity
       is all clogged up
       with contentment.

       Writing amidst blessings
       is bleeding without wounds.

       Why even read?
       Blow a tin whistle
       or talk to your uncle.

       It's OK.
       Very OK.
