To use Lisa Longworth’s analogy, writing can be like a hummingbird sucking his nectar. It is food for the soul, fueling your creative process. Writing is a journey. It is a voyage of discovery and, maybe, its goal is simply the joy of knowing the journey will never end. Writing ignites the imagination. The tool is the heart; the medium is words. So when writing even nonfiction, the writer cannot help but be inspired in the process, be it in research or in descriptive prose. New avenues appear. Thoughts, feelings, and insight create blossoms on the trees along the road of this journey. Come along and join me on this trip and remember, the journey never ends. To quote Sendivogus, philosopher and chemist of the 17th century: “There is no greater help toward a successful end than a good beginning.” With this preamble, may I invite you to join me a begin the voyage!

Patricia will be featured speaker on NLAPW’s October zoom meeting. Her subject is:We can learn from writing as the words take over.
“Consider the thought elements in perception and the perceptual
elements in thought. Yes, history is a biography. We see, we feel, we respond.
But the best response for future generations is to put these thoughts, these
perceptions in writing. Remember, if you can’t learn from the past, you are
bound to repeat it. And how to learn? From your writing!”
In reference to the comment below, in 1979, Joseph Roccasalvo was a professor at Manhattanville College. His course which I attended compared Freud and Buddhism. So it is an honor to receive the following message from Joseph Roccasalvo following the interview for Preferred Professionals:
“Delightful interview, Patricia, given with your customary joie de vivre. I learned so much more about you and your life, and came away thinking, “She’s done all that she’s wanted to do, from writing and painting, to breeding horses for racing. Astonishing range.” I hope this video multiples your reading audience, whatever is left that hasn’t been siphoned off by cell phones. You’re a goldmine. But your followers will still have to dig and discover the glint of words.” Joseph
Featured poem by Patricia Daly-Lipe by NLAPW (National League of American Penwomen)
Anatta: The Key to Creativity
Sound and light,
Flashes from the dark
Penetrating the woods and streams within my shell
As I lose the wall, my body, and succumb to the rays of light
And the rhythm of chords, shaking, quickening my nerves
To lose oneself – myself –
To feel, to become,
To emerge, to grow and blend,
To breathe and be,
Without form, without parameters
Self-less.

Several branches of the NLAPW in Florida collaborated to make presentations combining art and creative writing. In Patricia’s case, Anne Baehr discovered they shared a love of France and Medieval folklore. As background music to the showing of the video of their collage is a song named “Lady and the Unicorn” by John Renbourn. Patricia’s book, MYTH, MAGIC and METAPHOR plays a role in this journey as well as one of her poems and several of her painting done in Provence. To view the presentation click here.

Featured Art: The Princess and the Unicorn by NLAPW | Artist’s statementThis is a painting that literally came on its own. Surrealism, perhaps? I was painting landscapes in southern France and wiped the extra oil paint with a palette knife onto an empty canvas. Later, I looked at that canvas, turned it upside down, and there they were – the Princess and the Unicorn. I had seen the original unicorn tapestry in Avignon, but this rendition was not planned. I did add the dragon, however. The painting depicts good (the unicorn who represents creativity) and evil (the dragon). The princess holds up the mirror so the unicorn cannot see the “evil” lurking in the woods. I used this painting on the cover of my book “Myth, Magic and Metaphor: A Journey into the Heart of Creativity.” |
