Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. I thought we were to talk on Saturday. JOE: We were. However it turned out to be a nicer day than I thought it would be and I decided to go the air show with my son. CALLIOPE: I guess I can't compete with family. What's going on in your writer life? JOE: I continued the theme I started last week, evaluating where I am with my life, including my writing life. CALLIOPE: Have you reached any conclusions yet? JOE: Not really. I don't want to rush the process. There's no hurry. CALLIOPE: I guess not. Any work on your writing? JOE: Not this weekend. I have been busy with people- Air Show, church, visiting friends. CALLIOPE: It's good to be with people. As I recall that was one of the areas of your life you wanted to expand. JOE: Correct. I also had a chance to do some reading- Poisonwood Bible and The Power and the Glory. CALLIOPE: I don't recall you mentioning the second book. JOE: I haven't. It is about the abuse of power in the reign of Pope John Paul II, whom many people revere as a saint. CALLIOPE: What does the book say? JOE: Despite the reputation, he ruled with a conservative iron fist. That was not a surprise. The papacy certainly has had a checkered history. Talk with you tomorrow. |
