Note to self: giving thanks, even anonymously, makes a difference.

----------

... What I found on your blog resonated very deeply with me so I assume that was the reason I found myself pulled in that direction. Your open letter might as well have been written by me or about me- mother of two children with a marriage full of cracks that neither of us can seem to pull the plug on or breathe life back into. Your writing is beautiful, poetic, tragic, and full of life. Thank you for touching this life this morning.

months of writing on scraps of paper, my hands, calling my answering machine with words, creating in my head then losing it again as the sun rises or the child cries or a phone call makes me lurch.  nothing coming but scraps, dirty hands, full mailbox, frustration, and lurching.  and then this arrived for me, this note above, and something inside me broke.  and it helps.


thank you, you you who wrote me that note above.  i hope you read this, back at you.

  1. I totally agree with anonymous. Your work, thoughts, honesty, and sense of language...Oh my! I am so rarely on my computer these days (Iphone) so do not often see the notices from rss feed of your new work. Stunning. And Thank-you!
