The Katydid and the Ant

Jump.
---Joseph Campbell



One thing about being a writer is that unless you're typing, your family doesn't think you're working. Reading and research and mulling, pondering, composing ghazals in your head, resembles futzing around and daydreaming the way some insects look like bark and leaves to the untrained eye. Thus, you are constantly interrupted or flicked off your branch. And when are you going to get a real job? Why aren't you an ant?
