Something I wrote

c. Fall 2009, mid-suck, hence the emo. Sort of a prayer, or, more accurately, plea to Self. Finally feel like I'm starting to come out of it. Anyway ...

Take me in.
I am bedraggled.
dusty.
exhausted.
done.
Be kind, be calm, be warm, be patient.
Love me. Listen to me. Then leave me alone.
Feed me. Hold me. Let me rest, build my reserves, become well again.
My joy will come back. It will. It's just hiding until the storm is over. It needs room and time and calm. Help me find those, please.
Let me nap - deeply, endlessly, guiltlessly.
Let me wander - deeply, endlessly, guiltlessly.
Let me heal. Let me rest. Let me cleanse. Let me dream.

I like it. I think we should bring back Essay Tuesdays. I like writing, even if I'm not as good at it as you.

You are good! I love reading your blog, especially since you're one of the few who updates anymore :) I'm game for essay Tuesdays. Not sure if I'm game for coordinating topics. I'm being very, very deliberate about commitments this month.
