Words........

When words ~ keep you from feeling good ~ use them as firewood

(Train - Save Me, San Francisco)

Words are powerful. They are letters strung together with the ability to enlighten or be harmful. I have allowed words to drop out of my mouth with no thought of how they would affect another. Or times I have been aware and chose to say them anyway. Sometimes no words can be even more harmful. You have nothing to filter but your own thoughts, nothing to work out. There are times it is good to let the words flow. To see what it is I'm feeling. I have surprised myself before with random words that I have said. I didn't realize I felt a certain way until I heard the words said out loud. Maybe that is why releasing my writing out into the world is hard. It is revealing, intimate and about me. Even fiction are words of my choosing and when you send them out into the world you are letting go. This blog is a small attempt to let my words float freely with no judgement and no guarentees. And when I keep my words in the present moment they are lighter, more loving, and free.
