I’ve been thinking about how poets are like gardeners who don’t know what seeds they’re planting but still, tend to them anyway. It is only with time [and care] that they get to know what grows. How lovely it is to be.

When choosing what to write about, people often try to pick based on what they THINK people will WANT to read. Truth is—it isn’t about WHAT but HOW. Anything can be interesting to read, as long as it’s developed.
