I've Been Away . . . So Long . . .

. . . among friends and family.

It is so good to be loved.

* * *

Oh, the comfort,

the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person;

having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,

but to pour them all out,

just as they are,

chaff and grain together,

knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them,

keep what is worth keeping,

and then,

with the breath of kindness,

blow the rest away.

~~ George Eliot ~~

And the gentle breeze of such love

has blown me back to the blogdom

to share amongst the loved ones

known to me and not yet known.

After a time of extended quiet

my heart runs freely

with a net trained to find

words and glimpses of life among

the wisteria and the roses

and share them

with gleeful abandon.

I've repaired my computer glitches.

I've rested my heart in a summer of sweetness.

I've returned to dance.

Shall we dance?
