manus.. manus manuscript!

and with a mixture of music  I took up the 60 pages Dutch written poetry manuscript, work of almost a year in its final stage. While u2, bob marley, maroon 5, Dave Koz, Andrea Boccelli, Usher and more... sang and played their notes I went on rewriting, re-reading.. re-shuffeling, writing , polishing, vernishing. Some poem lines needed rephrasing, some ideas needed re-thinking and the line with my heart and the connection of land and people vibrated. Challenging myself. While doing this I only felt more inspiration, ideas flooded my mind and meanwhile something like a title came up, 'the ground i live upon'. The red line of nature and time developed in a seed for this title. I planted this title seed, for when the sun comes up again, the water is drawing back, the wind lays still. Then  I will know.  SIGH... :) SEND... off it went, after eight hours,  to my coach and editor. 'Manus' growing towards its final stage.
