Happy birthday, you. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689562912749353753.post-11791364280926112872009-07-21T14:31:04.464-07:002009-07-21T14:31:04.464-07:00I'm glad you've been feeling rested and ha...I'm glad you've been feeling rested and happy. I agree that the seasons are always shifting and we're left grappling with the constant change. However, I believe it is this that makes life colorful, ever-changing, & beauiful. <br /><br />Have you read Journal of a Solitude? A passage comes to mind as I read your letter: p.49 "With the return of cheerfulness I feel a sense of loss. The poems no longer flow out. I am more "normal" again, no longer that fountain of tears and intense feeling that I have been for months. Balance is achieved, or nearly. But at what price?"<br /><br />You conclude so confidently & wise, "And then I remember...<br />With enough air, I can dive down to the most beautiful depths."<br /><br />You know exactly how to do it...<br />Cheers to you and a great year!Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09895897273203447659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689562912749353753.post-92178285987196653052009-07-21T12:07:18.241-07:002009-07-21T12:07:18.241-07:00ShishMary,

Kind words are ALWAYS the best best best birthday present.<br /><br />Redwood,<br />Speaking of kind words...oh thank you for the visual imagery of "the wind soft in the willow branches..."

I'm forever glad to see the wind soft in your willow branches but also forever aware that the soil below is the richest sort of earth.<br /><br /><br />You are amazing.<br /><br />And I love you.UmberDovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10920126905837786943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689562912749353753.post-78310697067632507042009-07-21T01:14:11.492-07:002009-07-21T01:14:11.492-07:00This especially, is so beautiful: "I can feel...This especially, is so beautiful: "I can feel that time coming to an end as pain starts calling me back to the rich soil of my soul's flower bed."<br /><br />I relate to the sentiment. As another creative-type that struggles with depression, bliss can sometimes feel so foreign, so teetering, that the slip downward can feel (sadly, sometimes not sadly?) like coming home. <br /><br />Really, REALLY love your blog.ShushMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09309085487486671504noreply@blogger.com
