Ivan helped me to start writing again and to share even what makes me feel most vulnerable. It’s even harder when the stories are other people’s…a lot of it can’t be written. But maybe you could just write it anyway. For yourself. And then look at it again and see if there’s any part of it you want to share. So many things can be made vague and taken out of place and time so no person is pinpointed…just the emotion. And the specific details don’t show as obviously to others as we think they do…because we know the whole story, and they don’t. Just a thought. I don’t have this all figured out!

I hope we meet again. :)

Perhaps it’s how to share without exposing the stories of others. Writing used to help me make sense of my world but now it seems I can’t even release that. This is a good reflection on what stories lay just below the surface and how hard it is to keep going when we can not share but they impact is so. It was so lovely to meet you. May our paths cross again one day.

But I do regret not writing more in private! I wish I had more of my thoughts from those times. But it can be very hard to write down what you don’t know. And a person doesn’t want to “pin down a butterfly”, so to speak.

But I understand your silence. In the last months I’ve scribbled far more in private notebooks and far less for public viewing. But that is okay. The words are still there and will blossom in their own time.

Ohhh! Yes of course you do. :) Give me time, give me time. I’m glad you said “one day” because that has a little bit of space in it to germinate the thoughts and things that make stories.

It’s good to hear from you, Ros! Sounds like your wisdom comes from your own relationship with our Father, and that is a wonderful thing. I look forward to meeting you one of these days. :)
