[00:12.41]It might run dry after the first few tentative words [00:16.02]or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) [00:21.26]that would last forever [00:22.70]and make a difference in the scheme of things. [00:24.87]You don’t know before you begin. [00:27.62]Under the rules of the game, you really never know. [00:31.11]You have to take a chance! [00:33.20]Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. [00:37.46]Instead of picking up and using the pen, [00:40.50]you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer [00:43.26]where it will dry up, unused. [00:45.87]But if you do decide to use it, [00:48.18]what would you do with it? [00:49.69]How would you play the game? [00:51.56]Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? [00:55.93]Would your plans be so extensive [00:58.57]that you never even got to the writing? [01:00.74]Or would you take the pen in hand, [01:04.04]plunge right in and just do it, [01:06.43]struggling to keep up with the twists and turns [01:09.82]of the torrents of words that take you where they take you? [01:13.33]Would you write cautiously and carefully, [01:16.05]as if the pen might run dry the next moment, [01:19.02]or would you pretend or believe [01:21.30](or pretend to believe) [01:22.84]that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly? [01:26.55]And of what would you write: [01:29.30]Of love? Hate? Fun? Misery? [01:32.90]Life? Death? Nothing? Everything? [01:36.84]Would you write to please just yourself? [01:39.92]Or others? Or yourself by writing for others? [01:44.62]Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold? [01:49.75]Fancy with a flourish or plain? [01:52.26]Would you even write? [01:54.34]Once you have the pen, no rule says you have to write. [01:57.95]Would you sketch? Scribble? Doodle or draw? [02:01.76]Would you stay in or on the lines, or see no lines at all, [02:06.80]even if they were there? [02:08.23]Or are they? [02:09.66]There’s a lot to think about here, isn’t there?
