my head is cluttered. i can't seem to find the words lately. i had hoped to write this week. but the words are all diaphanous. pale and cloudy. out of reach. we've had a great week. amazing time with friends. swimming. sunning. treasure hunting. a lakeside fire late at night with guitars and laughter and dazzling stars. great meals. perfect weather. pure happiness. but i still can't find where the words start. there were young loons, sunning on the raft. extraordinary sunsets. breezy nights perfect for sleeping. my favorite hammock swaying in the shade. good books. and did i mention wonderful friends? and i haven't seen a single bat (which for me is a good thing). but still, the words are out of reach. 
I think your words were perfect and the photos a delight!
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds and looks wonderful, and you did find words--perfect words. Of course sometimes words need space too.
ReplyDeleteI love the call of loons.
Sounds like a little bit of heaven. No wonder you are a loss for words...I would be too! :)
ReplyDeleteTo me your words are perfect in this post - not diaphanous pale or cloudy. You are too hard on yourself - this is beautiful writing.
ReplyDeleteProbably you need time for your words( I think your words are good enough for us to convey your days but not for you, right?). Fermentation of words is requied as the process for good wine, I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat you wrote is wonderful to read! It sounds easy and warm and summery - I think you found the words perfectly - but I guess having been there it all seems to small compared to the emotions. Christa
ReplyDeleteSometimes taking the time to just "be" is the best thing you can do for your creative flow. Love your photos.
ReplyDeletethank you for all your encouraging words. sometimes words come but they aren't the ones you're trying to get out. i think that's what was happening last night. you all made me feel stronger and much more willing to keep trying. thank you!!
