My friend Huw, a fellow spirit, wrote to me yesterday and reminded me about Natalie Goldberg:

Natalie Goldberg says that writers live twice. Once when it happens and once while they figure out exactly what it was all about; how that colour was put together; what was it that filled the palm of your hand; what was it that went through your mind when you began to weep.

That’s what Huw wrote to me.

Update:

Huw says:

"Just a quick correction about the Natalie Goldberg quote: the idea is hers. This particular way of putting it is mine."
