Poet Glynn Maxwell said that in poetry ‘there is no such thing as repetition’ and when I first read that it was like an ‘aha’ moment.

I’ve found that it can be usefully extrapolated to many different aspects of life. You’ve shown it to us here with your reflections on Van Gogh’s sunflowers. Exactly this Karena!

I appreciate your comment Margaret. I am beginning to think about my work as peeling back layers of an onion, not repeating my work, but like any work just digging and discovering deeper.

I was thinking about this and how I can do a better job of "compiling" related writing themes into clearer buckets, since I often revisit the same topics in my head. Thank you for sharing the Van Gogh story!

I too am enamored with the sunflowers in my garden - that is, the ones the squirrels have left for me!
