Impressive Words of American Novelist Richard Powers

”When I lived in cities, I wrote out of a tremendous work ethic. I felt if I were to be a serious writer, I needed to produce 1,000 words a day. When I didn’t, I was tremendously anxious. But since coming down here (Great Smoky Mountains National Park), and committing myself to communication with the plant world, I’ve been much more comfortable in letting an hour or two or more go by in a reverie state.”

☆Very nice!

☆Once I went up to Tokyo attracted by the idea of city life. But now I love living quietly in the country.

☆”committing myself to communication with the plant world” ? Good! I would like to recommend you composing haiku poetry, Mr. Powers.
