The Awen! I made the same point about art that can be done without performance to the writing groups this week. We're very lucky.

It IS the Awen...or the Force, or the Big Good Thing of "The Secret Garden". Whatever you want to call it. And yes, as writers we are very lucky indeed. So many arts depend on ours before they can happen, and our words can inspire many more as well...

Two passages from "The Secret Garden":

"That morning when you ran in and said `It's come! It's come!, you made me feel quite queer. It sounded as if things were coming with a great procession and big bursts and wafts of music. I've a picture like it in one of my books -- crowds of lovely people and children with garlands and branches with blossoms on them, everyone laughing and dancing and crowding and playing on pipes. That was why I said, `Perhaps we shall hear golden trumpets' and told you to throw open the window
