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

"To give voice to our longings is to reveal a side of ourselves that we have become skilled at hiding.  With the first pangs of hunger we rush to fill the empty spaces with something, anything, rather than float quietly on our backs in the mysterious waters where our soul lives.   We may be ashamed to admit that we feel a kind of helplessness - a need for something we cannot even describe."  Elizabeth Lesser
