I also believe you can making your talking stronger by writing out your ideas.<br /><br />For me, writing is like having a deep conversation with myself, which is its own reward.<br /><br />However, talking is probably my most natural form of expression, and that's where the ideas for my writing come from.<br /><br />So why choose? Keep talking and writing Denise, you have lots of ideas in there.Christopher Parsonshttp://www.knowledge-architecture.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-51956082226947353982011-11-14T09:54:20.543-08:002011-11-14T09:54:20.543-08:00a slow and deep melancholy settles in after readin...a slow and deep melancholy settles in after reading the poem and this post, but not without this very faint glimmer of hope wrapped in one colorful scarf...<br /><br />there are those things that still bind us, after all. beautiful, both the words in that poem and those you have shared here.kitchuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907460384010952009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5232927064230838150.post-18050295081596131462011-11-13T02:50:16.236-08:002011-11-13T02:50:16.236-08:00szymborska, huh.

It's easy to belittle her for the decisions she made that are still affecting my life. However, the older I get, the more I discover how much wisdom she had... and with that realization, comes a greater trust in the decisions I make for today.<br /><br />Lovely post, Denise.

I also write a secret little blog for this reason. My intention was to write every day, but it doesn't quite work out as such. When I do write a post it's just a few words, only what I am thankful for on that day, at that time. It's nice to look back through the posts when life feels heavy. Hope all of you are well.
