In the often confusing, frustrating world of writing, and blogging is no exception to the rule, there are times when those who take what they write at least partially seriously run up against the wall of their own limitations. For myself, it’s my own ability (or lack thereof) to describe the way I’m feeling; to express on paper be it real or virtual exactly the way the subject affects me personally—even if it’s short and silly or long and thoughtful.
Then all of a sudden inspiration hits me and I’m ready to write but then I make the classic mistake. I decide to hit the web browser first and inevitably I find something to distract me and today was no exception. In fact, I found or re-found something that hit me right in the gut or heart to be more precise and I was suddenly reminded how close my wall of limitations really was.
I was simply overwhelmed by not only what this person had written but in the way that she touched my heart so thoroughly. In a way I never would be able to duplicate if I were in the same position. The post isn’t new (does it have to be?) and no, my friend isn’t always this reverent (who is?), but for this particular writing, she has good reason to be.
It’s about her young, very special son after all.
Shame on me for not checking in here more often – the new layout is excellent!!! Where did you find the layout or did you build it yourself?
You echo my sentiments exactly with the distraction thing… there are far too many pretty colours on this internetty thing to be able to focus properly. Thanks for such a kind post
I tried to be reverend today by bringing the chisellers to mass, but I was too late. Why does God have to be up so darn early on a Sunday morning? It’s not natural.
I don’t usually go around quoting from the bible as it’s a bad habit to get into ya’ know, but…
“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands.” Acts 17:24
Besides, didn’t God rest on the 7th day? So there you go. God’s napping on Sunday and he doesn’t go to church himself. No problem.
I’ve always known that music was a language that needed no words. There’s a bit of magic in that and a bit of magic in you and your son as well.
Oh yeah, I picked up the theme here: http://www.themespreview.com/ They have some real nice themes there and they rate them according to how WordPress compatible/standards compliant they are (Gold, Silver and Bronze rated).
I removed a couple-three links to sponsors from this one (way too many for my taste) but not to the author, erased one airliner from the sky and stuck the little guy at the top. Other than that the theme is pretty much as is.
yep – saw that post a while back – tis’ a gem to be sure!
