It comes every year and yet it surprises us.<br /><br />I was hiding in my bed last night and there was an advert for a TV recap of the past year. They had named it "The Year of Fear." This could have pushed me over the edge, but I switched it off. You should leave the paper for a while. It's that bloody winter.<br /><br />xMwahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954216492730746581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-36036203344320644102010-01-06T11:42:30.023-05:002010-01-06T11:42:30.023-05:00Yeah.

Which includes pain-filled moments and everything in-between to the sacred. Filled with this life, we are sensitive to the suffering around us: this does not mean (though it can, as well!) that we ARE the suffering. Your tears of sorrow are a wet example of compassion and healing, which we all share.<br /><br />Bless your heart. Yes.

I just think it is life. We live the best we can, we feel however we feel, and then we maybe feel something better-a whisper of hope, a sweet smile, a small slice of joy, and it is sometimes just enough to keep us moving forward. And then we die, and rot in the ground, and who the fuck knows what happens after that? I don't. I know that life is hard, and you are so sad, and it is okay because it just IS. And I would hug you or make soup or just hold your hand if I could, so close your eyes and feel that I am. And I know, it doesn't help one. fucking.bit.<br /><br />but-a good head of hair and great legs will take you far. :)Korihttp://seekorirant.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-69544814705050913982010-01-06T11:00:10.625-05:002010-01-06T11:00:10.625-05:00Good morning!

That your mind alone can find that future joy and beauty is proof that there is hope and love and life. We can think and imagine and write, what a dear blessing that is, yes? Yes! And yes once more...<br /><br />For me hope this morning is this dark rich coffee with milk that gets me more charged up as I start more month-end tasks. And hope this morning is my wife, at home cooking and reading and being a thoughful and happy girl.<br /><br />Bless your heart this fine winter's morning, Ms. Moon!<br />Mary6279https://www.blogger.com/profile/09119638089926357676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-58679348906498835282010-01-06T10:46:37.678-05:002010-01-06T10:46:37.678-05:00I so feel ya.

I'm still bogged down in holiday comings and goings, my daughter returned to campus to find her and a few others were robbed, another found out her best friends father has inoperable cancer... and on and on.<br />So I went to the lake in the middle of a snow storm . To look at creation. Because there has to be a reason other than what I make up in my head. I took pictures of swans and ducks and geese. And I thought of your chickens. Really. <br />You're words helped me , right there at the edge of my fears that grip so hard I can't move forward sometimes. All the what if of every day. <br />Sorry for the rambling... I hope the typing helped enough for today, that's all we get sometimes, just the hope.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924061349390319473noreply@blogger.com
