So Guess I'm keeping it alive in a different way.<br /> That is a nice poem, reminded me of myself sitting on the back porch getting beans ready for canning when I was about 12.That was more then a minute ago.

Sometimes just in my head, but stories have always been swirling through my mind. <br /><br />I love to write about the past--it tells us why we are who we are--how we got here. I also love just writing fiction for the enjoyment of the story.Mary L.

It is just beautiful, I especially loved the line about your Aunts frying apples in their skillets, that brought back some happy memories!

I want to contribute to keeping the past alive, so that the important, meaningful and beautiful life lessons of those who came before me are not forgotten. For me, writing is a way to be a link in the chain. <br /><br /> I also appreciate stories about the future as well. I love the dreamers who can visualize something different or better. Sometimes future stories can give off a spark which can start a flame, the light--guiding our imaginations into new directions.<br /><br />I do love the feeling of connection that comes from knowing someone is reading what I write. But I think deep down, the main reason I write, comes from a longing to understand and be understood. <br />I heard once that Elvis Presley said that he couldn't sing unless he could dance and if they tied him down, he wouldn't be able to utter a sound. It's kind of like that with me, I can't live completely, and vibrantly, unless I write. Have a great afternoon!

I can't get it out of my head. It intrigues me so. I love your poem. I just posted one that pertains to this very thing. Thanks for posting this.

It sounds like it's close to your heart, and that's when the writing really shines.<br /><br />I think part of what moves me to write is the connection my words with make with others, that aha moment when readers and author are in the same place.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.com
