Reaching Back to Find the Words
Lately I’ve been reading back over posts from the past 8 years, reacquainting myself with the writer’s voice I’ve had all along but seem to have misplaced somewhere along the way. Maybe I didn’t misplace it. Maybe I just wasn’t using it enough to keep it honed.
On the upside, I seem to have found it again, or at least I am well on my way in the process. I am remembering how much I love weaving words and how amazing it feels to word creatively and put thoughts into print. I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed it. I am starting to realize it now.
Now comes the process of defining, of organizing thought. I even find myself trying to form some sort of writing philosophy, as though a passion for writing creatively can be encased in a labeled way of thinking. No, it is too vast for that. I should know this. I do know this.
And so I continue to delve into this process, digging in and pushing past the surface to see what is really there–what has been there along but covered up. I feel like it’s been snowed under. I’m hoping spring is on its way.

Oh to dance just one one more time
Inter weave our love with words of rhyme
Your beating heart next to my own
Although much older we have grown
Sweet whispers of impassioned breath
We shared a love as still as death
Your fingers gently wove my hair
When for but a moment I was there
Papa
Oh, Ladblue! I am so happy to read your post. You may not remember me, but I am Lisa….O’Hara….Hopefully you do. I’d love to keep in contact with you. By the way, I, too, am rediscovering the words I’ve not made the time to voice. Having been working diligently, separated now for the past 5 years, I find myself having undergone a major spinal surgery 1-26-2011 and cannot return to work for the next 6 months, postoperatively. So, I’ve come full circle and find within the emergence of words needing a pen!
Drop me a line. I’ll be reading your writes…..so get writing!!

Of course I remember you, Lisa! I’ve been writing over at http://www.writepraylove.com a lot lately if you’d like to check it out. I do write here, though not as often. It’s good to hear from you again! I’m glad you’re doing well after your surgery. Looks like you’ll have some time to devote to writing!

Papa, I will respond a bit more poetically very soon. I just got in the door from watching the Super Bowl with family members. Hope you had a lovely Sunday. Talk to you (dance with you) soon!
