six:thirty dots

-------------------------------------------

and sometimes grace has a way of slipping right along side me.

i'm not fully aware, until i feel it in my bones. oh, how it warms aches. makes longings long less. pulls apart-heart-pieces into a different direction. burns a map inside my head i can't forget.
(it's a little squeeze); like the one i get when my four year old
friend holds my hand, telling that somewhere-deep-down:

you're gonna be okay.

  Now I'm really sticking to my suggestion of compiling these little snippets together. They would generate one hell of a force to reckon with I'm sure.

When my head's caught in a storm, I come to your page because you have the gift of capturing the simple things. More than that, there is deep and fond appreciation which makes me take a step back and be thankful, too. In a world that's so complicated, sometimes the most healing hand comes from a four-year-old friend untainted by grayness.

I really loved the image of 'burns a map inside my head.' There is a song I listen to, that I don't really like, only for one line that repeats a few times: 'on his face is a map of the world.'

Anyway, I didn't have a lot to say to begin with. Just letting you know I still read your page and it gives me real comfort.

You're going to be okay.

It's such a simple phrase, but I think we all need to hear it more often than we like to admit. What is important is holding onto those who are able to say it to you.

I like this image; how comforting a child can be. And I like the different aspects you have put within this one small paragraph. The apart-heart-pieces in conjunction with a map brings to mind a geography that, as you are so wonderful at capturing and emphasizing, is distinctly human. Recurring themes just mean that they are significant and in need of attention.

One small thought to throw out there has to do with formatting because I'm a nut: maybe separate the first line so that it stands on its own? I love how the title segues into it, but feel that it needs just a little extra space to contemplate before pulling head-long into the body of the write.

  I think this is perfectly balanced and measured and said. I love the opening, the grace line... very captivating start. And I know exactly the feeling you're talking about, it's like an Alignment With God almost, if there is such a thing, and the sky is just limitlessly blue in your heart and very very okay. I love that feeling. I envy those people who live in that surrealist feeling, those are the ones with that golden glow I think. Jesus probably had it, but who knows. Maybe he was just swarthy and scary when he preached, all Waco-crazy and arm-waving hysterics. Anyway, not that he has anything to do with this, but you know what I mean...?

  I suppose I could be vague and just blame you for inefficient output (eg. saying "there's not much to digest here") but that would be belligerent. The simplicity of this piece gives way to much deliberate liberty for the reader, to think. I think people have forgotten what this means, the liberty to think. An overture, or ouverture as the french would say; that, which in its finality, leaves the subject on an open note. It is as if they take it for granted, that simple fact of ponderation... The guilty liberty we all have, as individuals, to think regardless of what has been said, regardless of what will be said, regardless of all that we choose to ignore.

Think

Anyways, I am focusing too much on details, I guess. One thing I noted about your writing is the concurrent ellipses (so I proceed to focus on other details =P). It's not a bad thing at all, as stylistically, I can see the value of such things - and I'm not just saying that to make you acceptable, it is true.

In a more general way, I guess all that needs to be said is...

You're going to be okay...

Although, when are we not okay? Alive is alive. Not that we'd know the difference....
