echos

snow

echos of a therapist from over 25 years ago....

In my mind's eye there are daffodils that dance forever softly on the winds of March.
In glorious yellows they populate my memories and whisper of softness that has never truly embraced my personality. Don't get me wrong, I can be soft, but usually I have that part hiden carefully below the surface of reality. For being soft, my therapist told me, reveals far more than someone like me can tolerate.

And the wind howls.

And the snow falls.

At least in my mind's eye.

mom......when I was 13-14 years old...remember?even back then I had those issues.Comment from ckays1967 - 1/17/05 9:44 AM

Sooooo, when did you start seeing a therapist? And...it's always so strange to me when I see a part of you that I didn't know existed. Sweetie, you've always been warm, loving and giving, which I assume consitutes your meaning of the word "soft". Nevertheless, I love your play with words! Love, MomComment from tsgerkin - 1/17/05 7:52 AM

This is very revealing. I love your writing. xoxComment from valphish - 1/16/05 8:15 AM

You are soft underneat a hard shell. Just like me. It's very difficult to maintain the hard surface. When it cracks, its cracks big time. Oh how I know. LuAnne

I think you're strong with a marshmallow heart. : )AngelaComment from readmereadyou - 1/15/05 6:01 PM

Your writing reveals your soft side. But it also reveals your enormous strength. I marvel at your ability to maintain balance. Love everything you write. Would love to have an autographed copy of something of yours. Hugs. *Barb*http://journals.aol.com/barbpinion/HEYLETSTALKComment from barbpinion - 1/15/05 5:30 PM

Well, then your "soft" side must be irrevocably linked to your "writing" side, because that's all I ever see of you. And I firmly believe you ARE what you write. (What does that make ME??? LOL!) Lisa :-]Comment from mlraminiak - 1/15/05 4:20 PM
