Tide starting to turn

[pegkerr]

I headed to work today, Ice Palaces tucked in my bag, so that I could continue reading and flagging it during lunch and breaks. I wasn't thinking of anything in particular when Morningside by John Gorka came on the radio as I was pulling into work. Listening to it, I thought about the conversation I had with Powers this last weekend, and about how the words are beginning to trickle out again, and I started to cry. I had to take a few minutes to mop myself before heading into the building.

It's really true. After so many years of doubt and heartbreak and silence, I am starting to write again. What Powers helped me understand is that it doesn't really matter if the doubt is still there.

Just keep writing.

Good for you, Peg. This really touched me - one of my favourite posts on my flist this morning. Thanks for sharing. I raise a glass in your honour.
