I am a collector of words

Words feed me, free me, comfort, uplift and heal me. I've been saving my favorites in books, handwritten over the years and thought that perhaps in sharing them, not only am I preserving them for myself, but perhaps others may also find healing in them as I have.

Longing

"We have grown accustomed to shutting down or blotting out feelings of loneliness, longing, hunger.  It's less challenging to feed the hunger with explanations, concepts, rules (or drugs, food or drink) than to rest awhile in the depths of the heart's longing."  Elizabeth Lesser
