Breakfast

If you're going to walk tall, walk big.

Toast is burning

and I am Proust somewhere in the fist of remembering.

Kiss and taste you in the morning.

Peaches and oatmeal, toasted sunflower seed.

Grief like skin in the apple of my teeth.

Welcome to my website.  I tell you up front, I am not the expert on writing.  Every time I think that I understand the creative process I am thrown down, and rightfully so, to a place of humility where I start the learning all over again.  But I will tell you though that I love literature – poetry, fiction, theatre … I adore language and where it takes me. 

So here, on this webpage, I want to share with you some of my favourite authors, my writing and my learning and some of what inspires my work (feel free to e-mail me with your thoughts, ideas, questions jsnason@interlog.com

I’ll try to keep you posted about what I am writing and where I am reading.  Sometimes, I’ll even be brave enough to tell you what the critics are saying. 

I want to have fun here.  Much of life is taken up with work so I’ve decide that this site would not be work for me – lets play and create.  Much of writing is about becoming ‘unstuck’; so, I will, from time-to-time include a writing tip.  Within reason, I would like this site to be interactive –send me an e-mail with your inspirations and what gets you going. 

I’m interested in the sensual world and absolutely passionate about life.  Jim Nason the teacher, the social activist, and Jim Nason with a dreadful mortgage who is terribly responsible, deeply philosophical and a creature of contradiction.

Be peaceful.  Be ecstatic – live with your body and roses.
