I'm a quick study.<BR/><BR/>Actually, I don't know why I wrote that except that I wanted to capture something sad and precious that was trying pretty hard to elude me. I wrote to remind myself.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm coming to see that it isn't writing itself that's insidious to my soul; it's a certain kind of writing. When I make social commentaries or vomit up "have to's" and "shoulds" and "how to's" and "I think's" then I'm left staring at my words the next day or hour and feeling sick because my real life isn't even a shadow of my words. A person can make insightful observations or offer wise words (and I sometimes tried to do that) but if she doesn't know these truths in the intimate, experiential sense of knowing, it is useless. I'm like a TV Evangelist who preaches the love of God but is motivated by greed and pride; a woman hearing his sermon may be touched and healed by the love of God but that hardly matters for him. He's going straight to hell.Rachael Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11471819148289485322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11011055.post-1124999606967169592005-08-25T15:53:00.000-04:002005-08-25T15:53:00.000-04:00...it seemed the pen had been laid to rest - what ......it seemed the pen had been laid to rest - what has changed?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
