"We write, in part, the words we need to read."
Rebecca McClanahan, Write Your Heart Out
My words are my children,
nurtured from conception to maturity,
from thought to page.
They are what (all) I have to leave behind,
to let someone know I was here.
The mark I leave.
One proof of my life's worth.
They talk back to me, make me laugh.
They explain me, comfort me, as I grow old.

Can't figure out if yer bein' "southern" or yer self esteem is as low as mine, and if it's the later, yer definately wrong. You DO have more behind ya, though if y'didn't notice, then y'all weren't actually listenning to yerself.
Hey, I gotta go up in an airplane next month.
I hope YOU worked on my thing and not that guy who was doing two jobs and a break at the same time....(whatever)
'Cause you at least do yer best.
So, you leave LIFE behind you....
That ain't bad, girl.
Boneman - thank you for your perspective...point taken. My self-esteem is better all the time...partly because of my writing, and partly because of all the beautiful people in my life.
p.s. Boneman - only the words in quotes are hers... the others are mine.
A sudden spurt,or haven't I been watching? of fine writing. I lurk even if i'm not posting right now.
Take care.
k.d. - you are always welcome here.
and, yes it was a spurt, hopefully with a steadier stream to come......thanks.
Nice work!
mrs. g - thank you!
Very nice. I like your style.
aspergantus - thank you and welcome!
I just discovered your blog and I'll have to bookmark it. I found you through IN A DARK TIME... which I found by googling Hart Crane. I love the McClanahan quote. But do I think of my words as children...I'll need to think about that. I'm still trying to figure out what writing is, what the creative life is. Thanks for your input.
The words are my children.
The thoughts are my arms.
My feelings are when I get fertilized with thoughts, which reaches out to my "children" who activate my needs.
