"I am often asked where I get my ideas from. It's a very good question and one I always feel I should be able to answer. And yet, I struggle.
     How can I not know?
     I think it's because there are many ways, some clearer than others. I walk around with a notebook, and for many months before writing a book I observe and listen, taking down turns of phrase, single words, quotes from poems or books, snippets of conversation, or clipped articles from magazines and news reports. I often liken it to a pointillist work of art. Putting a dot of an idea here, another there. Some large, some tiny."

    "Thus, I propose that the middle of February remind CM admirers
    ​everywhere to prepare to celebrate "the science of relations" with

    ​One Hundred Days of Keeping -- notebooks that is."

    One Hundred Days
    Then swing your window open,
    the one with the fresh air
    and good eastern light,

    and watch for wings, edges,
    new beginnings.
