Today I attended a reading marathon at St. Mark's Church-in-the Bowery. The Poetry Project has presented this annualevent for 35 years. I arrived after two this afternoon. The church sanctuary was filling up. There were about 100 people seated. I listened to many writers read some of their work. Each person had a seven minute limit. I stayed over two hours (the event goes nonstop until midnight).
While I listened to the readers, I reminisced about a blog I posted a few months back. As a boy I was adventurous; I wanted to know what was in the woods behind our home. I still have that same curiousity as a sixty year old man. I am presently working on an essay for a book that I want to publish later in the year. I have a goal to write 20 essays and short stories. It's ambitious but I have a lot on my heart to say.
