Looking Back

The Three Sisters Mountain Range at first light

Looking back I see the year unfolding in friendships found upon this space where white screen greets me every morning, beckoning me to fill it with my thoughts expressed in words that lift me up, up out of the darkness of morning into the light of day breaking my heart open in love.

Looking back I experience the year unfolding through the writings of people I have never met on the reality plane, but for whom this cyberspace creates a vibrant reality beyond the 3-D plane of my everyday existence. In particular, three women with whom I've formed a friendship -- it may be in cyberland but it feels so real and deep and meaningful to me.

Looking back, I share with you just a few of their words that inspired me, moved me, touched me, startled me or simply entranced me.

Looking back -- I must confess, most everything these friends writes moves me, touches me, inspires me... in some way. It is one of the many gifts these women have given me - voices that connect deeply in my soul, touching me and inviting me to open up to the wonders of friendship reflected in their loving ways.

and if you check my blogroll -- you'll see other writers whose words awaken beauty and truth and love and joy. Tomorrow, I'll share more of my favourites, but for today, I honour these women who have come to mean so much to me and who add such joy and light into my life.

This is just a random sampler to get you inspired too!
