Dear Friends,
You know when life keeps coming at you like an AKA-47? Well, that’s what it’s been like here. I’ve missed writing for “fun” and with my blogoversary coming up in a couple days I’m feeling the pressure to write–something–anything from my heart. Any of you going through some trying moments, days, months, years–I feel you.
Good thing there’s this little thing that Emily Dickinson writes about: ”Hope is the thing with feathers/That perches in the soul . . . .”
So for anyone else waiting for “news” for a loved one (or yourself) and praying, wishing, believing for the best–know you’re not alone. We’re all out here in cyber space together–holding virtual hands.
Life can be a series of “whys” with only a “because” for an answer. We do our best to live in the now and appreciate everything and everyone good in our lives.
I’ll leave you with a quote that has spoken to me and I’ll be seeing you all soon.
The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.
But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now
mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.”
~J. R. R. Tolkien
Sincerely,
Pamela

Yes, my dear, I am holding your hand.

Pamela my thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom. I have my own challenges these days and know that you are not alone. Peace and blessings.

Great post, Pam.
Don’t make us wait so long!!!!
Thanks, Roy. I will try not to let life get in the way but ya know, it happens!
What an uplifting post, Pam. I’m glad cyberspace brought us together. Hugs.
I’m glad you liked it. Love ya, Rachel. Hugs back atcha!
awww. funny how those lines in stories from tolkien can be applied in so many places. i guess that’s one way to know when something is well written. it stands for more than just itself.
as for emily dickinson, are you a fan?
Yes, his lines are incredible.
Of course I like her! My favorites, though, are Neruda, E.B.Browning, Frost and Cummings.
cummings is my favorite. since you’re a fan of dickinson – have you ever heard about the connection between her poetry and the song “the yellow rose of texas”?
I haven’t actually–what is the connection?
LIFE IS NOW!!!
