William Carlos Williams wrote: “All our efforts as writers and as men must be to release the enchained dragon within us.”
Writing of writers and men, he postulates that we cage ourselves. And in the efforts, we release that which we’ve been educated to keep hidden away.
Maybe that’s creativity, or a drive to succeed, or even the childlike curiosity that lets us laugh when a child asks why.
We lose a lot, growing up. Though maybe it isn’t lost. Maybe it’s simply caged.
