It's the same fear we bring to the page. This emptiness that holds such a grip on the certainty of our faith. We are more than what we know. Yet less than what we wish for. To commit words to a page is to meet our fear in the moment of its perception. It is what it is. We can only touch this emptiness - And simply write our words. Content in the offering of our expression. |

Eric Excellent words. I've written somewhere about my fears when I wanted to write. Like some idiot I thought people would support me but even now outside of a Poetry site I dont really tell people more than my interest is in poetry. Dave |

"And simply write our words. Content in the offering of our expression." Well said! Perhaps in life generally it's the "offering" that's important. |

Aaaahhh... divine and beautiful. It is truly breathtaking what you do with what others would consider an impasse... you take what seems a lack of inspiration, and bring out the most beautiful things that no one else would dare see. This is just pure magic. Thank you for sharing. I love you, Moca |

How fragile we humans are too fear our 'voices' even in the anonymity of the world wide web. But we are. Enjoyed |

We are more than what we know. Yet less than what we wish for. So very true - very thoughtful write here -  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

smiling here because I do understand. And I feel the difference in me when I don't write. You expressed the passion perfectly. |

To surpass that fear... is to know truth. No wonder you are so favored among us.  |

Sometimes we just don't know what we said/wrote. This is well-written/well-said. Writing through the fear is akin to overcoming life's challenges be they mountains or molehills. You really made me think. Sometimes, I'm afraid to commit my words to page because I might be wrong or not well enough informed. I guess that I should just keep writng and see if the knowledge and maturity comes. One thing is for sure, I'm not ready to write my last word so I better get started before it's too late. Thanks for posting this. Shenachie |

Huh...there's fear involved in writing...I look at it more as a willingness or desire to release inner thoughts...James |

We are more than what we know. Yet less than what we wish for. Talk about words that hit home! *S* Excellent!! |
