From Stephen Dunn
The invented person, borrowed from the real–abstracted, isolated–is the person we finally know, or feel we know. I make myself up from everything I am, or could be. For many years I was more desire than fact. When I stop becoming, that’s when I worry.
A Commonplace book is a wonderful gift!
Oh Elaine! Sooo good to hear from you
I’ve always kept traditional commonplace books (you should see the ten books of treasure I spirited home from B’ton!) But I’m loving having my students keep them too. Learning, seeing so much new!
