This is such a thought provoking post; yes, the themes and context for my poetry and prose come to me in the stillness of a pause,when I am more receptive to myself they are my way of expressing my inner thoughts. ♡diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171808338793139579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821039846301805207.post-22068934835560654732010-09-25T07:23:45.686-07:002010-09-25T07:23:45.686-07:00This is sooooo beautiful!

That song was sad to me for personal reasons. Anyhoo, the video is of Pink as an adult but also her as a child, and in a way, she's holding her own hand.<br />Lovely post. ;-)Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821039846301805207.post-46802579853884606282010-09-25T03:05:57.882-07:002010-09-25T03:05:57.882-07:00T.Anne- yes, I appreciate the beauty.

It is in that stillness...outside of thought and feeling that true nurturing can actually occur. I've learned something this year...I am NOT my thoughts/feelings! Out of stillness, that wonderful belief was born. Loved this post.
