So this goes out especially to all the people who have taken even a peek at my blog. It also goes out.to a few people who have created a bit more inspiration for me to write more again. I could mention every member of my family but this is supposed to be a short intro. I will mention everyone from the NoDaScope (Jane and Brad in particular). I would give Tom Murray a shout out because of the way he talks about his writing projects and their meanings There’s Mac who has. influenced my writing in the area of music mostly by tolerating the painful first few years. If youdon’t know who. Mac is well he’s one of a special folks I met in my college years. Speaking of those years there is Whiz and Bob “Ramblin.Reha whose comedic inspiration is semi legendary Each always knew how to make me see joy in the smallest of indiscretions . In more recent days there has been Peter Leidy who has helped me expand my thanking about everyday life and some things like choices and independence There is Scott Burlingame who really loves writing even though sometimes it is a chore. Finally, I thank some twitter folks including the writing and reading communities because they me how the love of writing.can be an obsession and a curse.
Of course there are additional people I could name...but sometimes the names have to be changedchanged or omitted to protect the innocent and he omitted
... yep Anyway here. It. Goes..
Some. Simple Passing. Praises
You folks are all amazing
And inspire my cryptic. Phrasing
And deserving. Of my praising
For favors. Big and small
When demons I am fighting
You still make my days inviting
AAnd. You make some moments exciting
Sor I keep rising when I fall
Some live farther than the oceans
Yet. You understand. My. Notions
And put up with my. Emotions
When I’m low or standing. Tall
So sometimes when I feel. Fear
I imagine that. You’re near
And you whisper in my ear
Take a swing. Here comes the ball
Finally ..With simple language I employ
And the syntax. I destroy
Writing brings me peace and joy
And for that I thank you all
May the light you have inside bring you blessings
Thank you for sharing your light
ReplyDeleteJim: I'm really enjoying your blog. Did you know I am a Catholic Worker? Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin set up the Catholic Worker in the Great Depression and it continues today, all over the United States living out their mission of making the world an easier place to live. Peter Maurin was the intellectual foundation of the movement--still is, even though he died in 1949. May I suggest that you get a subscription to the Catholic Worker newspaper? It will cost you one cent. You'd love it! Your writing reminds me of Peter Maurin's "Easy Essays." You can check out his writing here and see for yourself: https://www.catholicworker.org/petermaurin/easy-essays.html
ReplyDeleteI will most certainly have to check that out and at that price how can one not see what it says thanks for the suggestion
