Seated beside the sparkling Saugatuck, river, eating Bar Taco's early morning treats I am moved by how many writers showed up for the “Write Here” event. Bob Mitchell's historical accounts about the Saugatuck river and Westport's Connecticut's sailing ship days inspired me. I could picture the vast wooden vessels moored and clanking in the wind, being unloaded of their food and farming supplies, and fine china. I knew little about that old Westport. The bank robbers jumping onto a moving ship, then hopping on the halted train, successfully fleeing the police. Never arrested, even used a dye marked stolen coin to pay his fare. What a story. The lovely setting, shaded with cool water breezes offered a perfect writer's prompt. All senses stimulated, munched our chips and salsa and sought to capture the moment. Words to help hold on to the essence. As creative beings, we write, or draw or throw a pot, or compose a song, inspired by just such rare, fleeting moments.
