I spend a lot
of time inside:
inside my home,
inside my mind,
inside the minutiae
of thought and its origin,
inside the elemental processes
from where this sentence came;
from where all sentences come.
Then,
editing my sentences,
editing the flow of sentences
to avoid excess amalgamation,
editing structure for an outcome
of increased coherence,
editing the matter,
editing worldviews
to stay current outside.
But,
I stay inside,
inside the web
where all human thought
is caught and I use
my silk to connect you
to the cord that vibrates
with promise of juicy and proteinaceous
Knowledge,
Power,
Independence.
Alas,
there is not enough Credit given to being inside.
I am rich
with thoughts, words, opinions.
So I spend a lot
of time inside,
on the inside,
freely.

Sam Rappaz
Scientist, Writer, Blogger: I am a cancer researcher, who having completed her Ph.D. is now developing a penchant for science communication. But before I delve into pure science writing I am flexing my creative muscles in a personal blog where I write essays and poems on my past, present and future, tell stories in photos and haikus, extol my favourite authors and poets and all the while gaining appreciation for all that it takes to connect with oneself in order to connect with others. Words can help heal a person almost as much as experimental data!
