Been A While




Hello Blog Land.
It's been a while.
Sorry for my absence.
~~~
Have you ever experienced something in life that turned your world upside down?
Have you ever had a time where you felt as if you were drowning?
No matter how hard you fought to reach the surface, you just couldn't catch your breath?
That's how it's been for me lately.
It's been hard.
~~~
I've been trying to learn from this experience.
I have been trying to remember to breathe.
Mostly, I have been soul searching through tears.
~~~
I am in the process of healing my heart,
cleansing my soul and clearing my mind.
I have had trouble visiting this page.
What do I write?
I don't have sunshine and happiness to share.
I don't have wise words and silly stories.
I'm feeling much better and starting to smile again.
Still, how do I transition back to the page?
The words have been fighting me.
~~~
I have come to this space time and time again looking at the blank page.
The blank page just stares back at me.
Today I offer up this honest bit for what it's worth.
Not much to say.
No sense to make.
Just me, trying to find the words once again.
~~~
Step One.
Post something.
Anything.



The following are photos of a wind chime I made recently. A little art therapy.
Every centimeter of this wind chime has personal meaning.
When the wind comes along, it plays a healing reminder.




If you're here in this space, blessings to you for hanging in there with me.
If you're experiencing your own personal pain, prayers of healing to you.

Glimpse





She lost her voice to the wind so long ago, she could no longer recall how it felt to speak. Her fears, her pain, even the occasional moment of happiness remained trapped behind the cork of suppression. 


"Children should be seen, not heard." hollered the old wind of childhood.
"I instruct, you obey. It is the only way." demanded the rigorous winds of learning.
"Conform and worship for now you are mine." whooshed the wind of marital expectation.
"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection." (I Timothy 2:11) blew the wind of religion.


The wind is a powerful force. If subjected to harsh winds for long enough, erosion takes place and eventually total destruction. A voice, she learned, can only take so much wind force before it is silenced for good.
