I think writing is a particularly wonderful way to "sort out" one's thoughts and even one's faith. There are so many ways to do this: journaling comes to mind, letter writing as a spiritual exercise, and of course poetry. I sometimes write my prayers as poems when I don't have the courage to pray them. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972134149250663395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-46526784361527224892017-05-01T20:36:50.260-04:002017-05-01T20:36:50.260-04:00So glad for what we share in common!So glad for what we share in common!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972134149250663395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-19493292514745329262017-05-01T20:36:17.770-04:002017-05-01T20:36:17.770-04:00Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only on...Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one with planting issues, JoAnn!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972134149250663395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-72169094628194373692017-05-01T20:35:28.371-04:002017-05-01T20:35:28.371-04:00Coming up with the salutations and valedictions wa...Coming up with the salutations and valedictions was one of the most enjoyable aspects of writing these poems.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972134149250663395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-71210648879711487072017-05-01T20:34:13.767-04:002017-05-01T20:34:13.767-04:00Writing to someone you admire in history is a chal...Writing to someone you admire in history is a challenge and joy.
