I’ve been wondering when and if the time would ever be right to resume the craft of blogging. Today my heart is so overwhelmed with gratitude that if I don’t put something out there I fell as though I’ll explode. A few questions moderate my enthusiasm. The first is, “will any one care to listen?” Another is, “who has time to read one more blog post?”

Then, I question my own sanity - why would I choose to engage with cyber technology when it so often confounds my capabilities. This is actually my second attempt at posting for  the day- *sigh* the other one disappeared in cyber space.

Here, then, is merely an invitation to hear what I have to say about this or that…

 

I’m a writer. It’s who I am. I’d like to share that part of me with any who care to know me better. I’ll welcome your comments as a way of conversing in community that we might learn from each other.

 

Allow me to begin once again with this little French Pantoum composed by moi a few months ago at a writer’s workshop – Writing as a Spiritual Practice with my friend, Jan Lundy at the Dominican Center.

 

How do I live my life from now on to honor the gift?

Why do I write?
I must write.
I write to say “yes” to God.

 

Why do I write?

Writing gives me a voice.
I write to say “yes” to God.
Perhaps others will listen.
