Nadine Jansen Having A Smoke

Pens miraculous

L 'Dreamcatcher King wrote it in six months. And all by hand. More than six hundred pages with an editor old as the hills: the pen.
I remembered today, and I went to browse the book of symbolism that gave me. Under that heading?

Pen is obvious. And I discovered that means climbing, lifting, animation, but also growth.
comes from Latin, of course: fin. And the old game fins-feathers conosicuto is: after the Sirens have become women-fish because of a possible error in transcription of some careless scribe. And goodbye to wings and clawed feet.
Compunque: The pen is a effective panacea for all ills, and Theocritus said well: the Cyclops has found the ideal remedy for such misfortune, or the art.
Writing is a way of exercising the art. It does not matter whether you have three Nobel laureates and some literary certificate. But I wonder if it's only (not believe) complacency, or almost a real need.
Zoroaster urged to use writing to protect yourself from harm and danger.

" With this pen,
you rub your body.
With this pen,
of sending your enemies to curse
".

And again I am reminded of King, and his confession in the book explicit: those months marked by severe physical pain, and writing that leads elsewhere. and awareness, along with new and obvious, having to rediscover the pleasure of writing with a pen.
The Wizard has a magic wand, the writer can do magic with a pen?

I think so.
