I was so amazed by that poem, because I'd never understood exactly what I was doing out there or why I was drawn to that quiet place. I love the idea that silence sorts. If you were there with me, on the lanai, we could sort together. Friendship sorts, too... Amber,

It feels so good to break the ice and write again. I have been inspired by the beautiful experience you both are creating through your own blogs. I think that poetry Wednesday is going to help me to get more of a routine going...I totally love the concept of sharing poetry with friends! Julia & Molly,

You have indeed had a lot to absorb these past few months. I have always considered you an especially wise writer - one very much in tune with the fluctuating rhythms of your life - one obedient to your soul's need for both quiet and expression. That poem is lovely (very Lenten, even), as is this post. It is so nice to hear (read) your "voice" again! Much love, Molly Jenny,

I completely understand how sometimes writing isn't the needed thing and that the data of life coming at you is just too much to organize into a blog post. These stretches happen to me all the time lately and I get stuck. Life is taking me into deeper places but I am less able to write about it because writing is a form of sorting, and it's too much to sort. But then I just zone out into the chatty miasma of facebook and the data never gets sorted but gets displaced by trivial information that also vies for my mind's organizing attention. I really love this insight about silence helping to do this sorting. I think I'm beginning to understand that this Lent. Hey-- I hope you're ok. I just saw the headlines about the possible tsunami in the pacific. I’ve been waiting for your next blog post!

I love noisy silence. And the concept of "sorting" makes perfect sense. It's what I think of as processing, the cursor of my mind going round and round. I may look like I'm "frozen" but I'm doing hard work. I love you and I'm so glad you posted here. Oh my greatest longing this morning is to sit on the lanai with you and listen too.
