And so I write…Although no one talks back there is some
degree of healing that happens when I allow my feelings to flow through me. I let them move out of my heart, through my
thoughts, into words and out into the world.
Somehow it feels like getting the painful feelings out of my physical
being stops the wounds from festering. I
understand that I need to experience all of the pain. In the same way, there
are times that I feel the need to share some of the joy, too. I recognize that getting
stuck in either emotion does not change anything. It does not mean that there are not times of
uncontrollable overwhelming grief or even brief smiles of happy memories but
there is some kind of healing magic that happens when I write and allow the feelings
to move through me. They go from being
an intangible thought to tangible words…it is very much the same process as
creating art. And I need this, now more
than ever!
