Today (Saturday) I spent quite a bit of time going through the blogs I follow, reading them, liking them, commenting on them.
Tonight there is a teeny tiny lump in my chest, reflections of an over-reactive reaction to some of the blogs. Nothing overwhelming — just writers writing. Sharing their thoughts.
There were blogs about heroes and their counterparts: Day 4406: Bullies and Heroes; an outrageous law: Global outrage as Iraq lowers marriage age for girls to NINE…; melancholy memories: A Sweet Aroma & Memories; even a painting touched by the California fires: Blustery.
Of course, there were many blogs that brought a smile to my face too: a beautiful homemade quilt: Friday Finish : Here Be Dragons; a painting: Some Semblance of Morning Fog; a haiku: Can’t Wait for Spring (a haiku); and photography: My Trip to the Desert.
There should be a balance of feelings in your life. Hitting deep both from highs and lows.
But I am also thinking that some of the most powerful writing comes at this time of the year. The time of cloudy skies and snow and cold temperatures. Of isolation and politics. People can’t get out and around and disappear in the woods or on the beach like they can in summer.
Yet, truth is, many of you live in warm climates and countries and write emotional things just as much as the winterites.
I’m glad I’ve got you all in my life. You keep me on my toes!
Thanks for the link. I continue enjoying your posts and suggestions of artists and writers to follow.
