On Writing Today

it's been said that good writers write about what they know—pain, betrayal, risk, love, death, and all the in-between.

i write to discover what i know, to remember, to change. it frustrates me, heals me, burdens me, and allows me to keep walking when everything goes dark and i just want. to. stop.

however, sometimes i think my friend krissy said in best:

there is a feeling of dread that i may never write something meaningful again.

and if that's a case...

well...

i shall...


play in the rain



















balance in the wind














dance with the sun













walk in the midst of beauty














discover something new













play with friends













visit far away places
















and run toward home

  1. Hi Kristie,
    I'm visiting you from link on Jenni's blog. I read a few of your previous posts and your "About Me" page, perused through some of your photography and new almost immediately that I would be following you. It is hard for me to find the right words, but there is a beautiful sense of calm here on your blog; your words, photos and outlook on life is exactly what I look for in a good blog. :)

    I'm looking forward to reading more and getting to know you better!

    Aloha,
    Angie

    I think you're right. So, thanks, Mindy :) I can't remember who said it, but I remember hearing that if one has survived childhood then they should have enough material for the rest of their life...
