>>>I have no training and no background and what you call skill, and intimidating, is only a pouring forth from someone's heart, in a state most would disapprove of, Zenhussy.<<<
that most would disapprove seems very sad...as it could be a positive way for them to see the beauty and raw truths in your expression here.
your training and background are your life....they seem more than adequate given the level of ability you show here. just try a local CC creative writing course....you'd blow those kids outta the water w/ your talents and life experiences. ;) just remembering some students when we first entered school who wowwed w/ their writings........takes life and some hard knocks usually to give one such a deep well to draw from. your well won't run dry.
>>>I don't know why but it seems like the deeper the feelings, the more important the message, the harder it is to excavate, the more of a price it exacts.
Why do you think it is this way?<<<because the things we bury deep are usually precious in some way. we most usually pay a price for attaining understanding of such important messages. the prices may be steep but the end result if that message is received and HEARD makes most prices worth it in long run...painful but worth it.
>>>Why can't it all be fluff and roses and pretty white clouds? I don't get it. I didn't want this, and the comfort you guys, you and clearskies and anybody that posts saying I've touched their heart in some way, is the most rewarding thing I could ever wish or hope for.<<<
if it were all fluff, roses, sunshine and pretty white clouds then we'd never be able to sppreciate the lovliness of such things w/o the contrast of heavy, dead, darkness and thunderclouds to show us the light to the dark......the good to the bad.......the better to the 'omg when will this suffering end'.
your words of expression here serve a purpose for you and that is most important. that your words touch many deeply in ways difficult to describe is merely some icing on your already rich and yummy cake.
>>>But do you know what? The fact that any of it resonates with anyone else, makes it all the more True, and Worthwhile.<<<
YOU and your writings are true and worthwhile no matter whether an audience responds to your work or not. that there is feedback can be a nice perk of a place like this.
>>>Let's change the world; let's let ourselves free.
((((zenhussy))))<<<you're already so much more free than you've been in ages Susan47.
our mother died suddenly/unexpectedly three months ago. there was the usual mother/daughter bs stuff but we had both been working hard on mending some deep wounds from decades ago.
your words here to your precious daughter resonated in such a way we're still stuck for words to describe how poignantly this letter of yours moved us.
(((Susan47))) never change the fighting spirit that has kept you going and keeps you going.
blessings,
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzenhussy......the zzzzzz for zzzzzzzzleeeeeeeeepy.
