Staying on Track

February 13, 2006

Just thought I would share.....

To keep myself on track with blogging, I am going to try and have a theme for a month. For example this month I am trying to write about "Love".

I don't have to write about love or even mention. But Love is my starting place.

Next month's theme is Brokenness.

By the way I am totally borrowing from my church. We do 1 spiritual theme per month.

I also have a writer's journal. Here is something I collected today from someone's signature. I don't know if this is a real quote or not. But it is an interesting point of view.

"Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again."

[font=Verdana]Month of March and I am moving onto a new theme... Brokenness

Again, it is just a starting point for me.

Here is a snippet from a poem.

[font=Verdana] Love AbidesӔ [/font]

[font=Verdana]by Barbara Pescan[/font]

[font=Verdana]

Often we are found in our grief and comforted

Calmed by some kindness

Brought alive again by beauty

That catches us undefended.

Even when the sun is most thin and far

Even at the hour the storm is at its height

We can go through

....Renewal nests within sorrow

[/font] [font=Verdana]....Love abides, even beyond anger, beyond death.

Food for thought.....
