It is time to write again, and yet there is not time for writing.

Heart Work

The hardest work of the heart is to filet the many fine bones of longing, desire, and need out of love. Under the happiest of circumstances, these find expression entwined with love and answered in kind. In less happy circumstances, longing, desire, and need may prove irrelevant or even deal enduring harm. In that instance, we have to choose what finds expression, out of all that contends within us. If we love earnestly, then it is out of love rather than selfishness that we should act.

Galadriel’s Resolve

I watched The Lord of the Rings with my son this week. One line still echoes: “I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel.”

This is just to say…

This is just a note to say that I and mine are well and that I miss writing here for the love of words and ideas. Hello to anyone who still stops by sometimes.

Thanks for all

I’d like to thank everyone who has read here and sometimes responded. The hours I spent writing were deeply good.

That said, I’m going to close this chapter, I think. I’m doing some adjusting that requires a measure of spiritual and emotional energy. On a practical plane, I’ll add a weekend job after Christmas if I can, for the usual reasons. I won’t have much time to write even if the notion strikes. The blog will remain here until June or so, when I’ll decline to renew the domain name.

There are seasons in every life. This is my season to take care of all that depends on me.

Best wishes for a warm, safe, and happy holiday season spent with the people you love. I have loved meeting you through this medium.
