wait! wait! come back! I have my tea, but the link is not being found. . . (darn code). hugs, hugs-- I'll pop back later to hear your voice. ;o)

thanks, Jen!
I like to come here b/c it's just so amazingly soothing to keep seeing how parallel the process is. . . the observations, the waiting for words. . . to creating a painting, physical pieces of art. And for other things.
Oh, and I totally get the knitting. . . yes I do.

total cool-ee-o! can't wait to listen!

I want quiet and solitude, too, when I'm gearing up to catch a creative wave.

It's really inspiring to me that you go ahead and put yourself out there anyway, though you feel like the words coming are total crap. (They're not, by the way. Not that I've seen.) I'm such a chicken when it comes to doing that a lot of the time. I'm just starting to come out of that, of seeing everything I write as inferior to everything and everyone else.

Thank you, thank you for sharing these things with us. :)

Welcome back, sweet Jen. I've been knitting too...and waiting for words...and trying to keep giving the small gifts of what I have. Thanks for these words today.

brilliant. there are no words yet because they are being lived. yes, we are living the stories that we will one day write. thank you for this today. i needed to hear this and wrap myself in it.

the 'tmwy journey together' was a month-long meditation for me...lots of words and insights. and now, emptiness (a wordless spell). but today i see, they are alive in me.

Welcome back Jen and thanks so much for this! I really appreciate how you are willing to share your vulnerable moments-- and it always encourages me.
