Full of surprises and encouragement...

This morning a friend posted an interview with Ann Voskamp...author of "One Thousand Gifts".
She talked about her writing and the language she uses...called her blog, "A Holy Experience" "this space where I net and catch the days..." used a phrase from Emily Dickinson to describe her style as writing "a bit slant and addressed the fact that very often our writing language is much different that how we express ourselves verbally. Reading this was very encouraging and shined bright light on my day of discovery. Following is the burst of expression that followed.

Coming Out of the Fog
Be brave
Get up and move and the clouds are displaced.
Light comes through and plays in grey's choking night.
It's not os much a terrible thunderous erruption
that pushes or pulls away the separarion from freedom
to see- hear - do
but that in the moving forward - gently
out of the lethargy and melancholy
the light creeps in - whispers are heard
sounds of consolation and creation.
Soon cracks in the old boarded up walls become
a wide open door a vast expanse that
Draws - exposes a fertile landscape full of laughter and light.
