I love these photos of Obama on the campaign trail for the last two years. So moving.
And these are fun and moving too.

What you see
Observational skills are a big deal for a writer–for anyone, actually, but especially for artists who need to see and to translate what they see into words. For me, photographs help me see what’s there. Here are a few from last night (my newly carved pumpkin) on through to this morning, just minutes ago. What do you see from where you sit, or when you get up and walk around your surroundings?
Visiting with your writing
I’ve posted this link before (I think), but here it is again, Walter Mosley on why you need to visit with your writing daily.
Also, here’s a link to a poem that one devoted blog reader, J., thinks is perhaps the greatest thing he ever read.
If you have any links to writings you want us to read, please post!

Birthday
Here’s what I walked out to find at 5:30 this morning. Thanks so much, relatives, friends and acquaintances, for all of your sweet birthday wishes. What am I doing on my special day? Well, I do want to watch the debate….it’s true. Wonder where there’s a restaurant in these parts with it on and the sound turned on, too, with people eating and yelling (or moaning). That may be where we end up.
