Just write!

I'm still mulling over the possibilities of my writing.  I know that one thing is for sure, that if I want to write something, then I need to start writing something!  I love the feeling of being in the flow and writing what seems to come from outside of myself.  I've noticed that when I walk frequently in the woods, I tend to get crazy ideas & downloads from the forest. I'm sure that sounds crazy, and that's ok.  As the saying goes, "Those who can't hear the music, the dancers appear crazy."  I've been looking into some writing courses.

Here's a little something I wrote the other day about a friend of mine who committed suicide in January 2007.

It’s been 8 years since you’ve taken the next step in your journey.  I still think of you, especially when I’m out walking in the woods.  I imagine you walking next to me and I want to talk with you, but feel shy so I don’t speak out.  The winter snow is filled with memories of your life. I want you to know that you mattered and you made a difference. To me. You made a difference.  You were loved.  When you left, I thought my heart would never love again.  I delved into the darkness and got lost there for a long time. I thought that the darkness was the only way to stay connected to you. I longed to go home too.  And then the great spirit in the sky brought me a son.  A soul that anchored me to this world, and reminded me of the light!   I now see that I am still connected to you, and I cherish the dreams when you visit me.
