Writing holds a unique gift. It is my quiet time to meander through the back channels of my mind, a time to allow words to ruminate and float in a circular pattern. A sequence of thoughts builds within only to be mulled over and splashed across a page like an artist's brush on canvas. With each stroke, a new layer forms until a single thought develops into an expression of joy. Digital tools enhance my word weaving process adding a different look while poetry adds enough zest to radiate my thoughts in many directions.
Welcome to my New Gardens
A guided tour of my perennial and herb gardens will be uploaded when I can get access to my account but for the time being join me at Two Writing Teachers for the Slice of Life. |
Carol, your words about writing are a beautiful painting and garden full of flowers. Thank you for your lovely expressions. The radiating joy in your real flowers is beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteCarol, I had always told my students that writers are artists who use words to paint pictures instead of paints. I think springtime flowers bring a special joy because they appear after the dreary drabness of winter- which has its own type of beauty.
ReplyDeleteI never thought of writing as a gift. Thank you for this lovely idea! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you start with writing as unique and then compare it to so many other things - and yet, it is still its own thing. And I can't wait to see your garden!
ReplyDeleteMy garden is thriving, Amanda. The weather is warm here and will reach high 80s and maybe 90 by this weekend so I need to see if the plants will survive. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
DeleteWriting brings joy. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWriting IS a unique gift, Carol, allowing us to live more deeply and gratefully. I sense these each time I read your posts as well - they are also gifts!
ReplyDeleteWriting becomes a cleansing activity, doesn't it? Getting those thoughts out on paper is a bit like digging in the garden, with expression-flowers as the result. Thanks for the brief respite with your spring joy today!
ReplyDeleteI love your life equation! We have been doing these in kindergarten! Thank you for sharing your beautiful words on this post and all your others. It always gives me a moment of peace and breath to read yours.
