Friends, I’m taking a break for a few reasons.
- It sometimes seems like there are enough (or even too many) words.
- Many times they seem redundant and unnecessary.
- I’m considering what part of my ego is attached to the idea that my words actually add any value.
- My heart is struggling and I won’t subject you dear reader, to despair (I heard Matthew Fox say, the worst sin is spreading despair).
- And finally, other than a few sweet and loyal folks who regularly respond, I’m not convinced anyone (or at least not very many) are listening.
It’s not a bad thing and maybe it’s just a rest.
For the most part my despair and exhaustion with the world leaves me in deep surrender, acceptance and wonder. I’m sincerely curious about what will rise from the ashes of our crumbling culture.
And I’m blessed with the realization that all I can do is laugh, sing, love, and serve in my little circles of influence.
Alhamdulillah.
Bye bye for now. ❤️😎🙏💕
i understand.
I’ve read your blog with interest since you started it,
Thinking, “Good for you.’
And one must say no so that one’s yesses mean more,
Something I’m trying to learn.
Best wishes to you.
Grace to you.
Blessings on rest, repair and continued nourishment on your journey.
Thank you for the words and messages you have sent. I rarely commented, not because your words were not grace-filled or worthy, but as you mentioned – rest. Please return when you feel called.
I do not post to my blog often as you said – sometimes there are too many words out there – good and valuable words – but I think and hope that we ‘get it’. Plus, are we addressing the choir, so to speak.
What I do write and do not post are poems, prayers and messages I send to my church congregations, my family and friends and in my journal.
Many thanks and blessings

Take care of yourself. It’s a very hard time to not succumb to despair. You have helped me keep from focusing on those who seem to be heartless. Much gratitude!
