The Word Weaver

Things look bleak, hopeless... A tapestry of images in my head swirls and tells me a story, hauntingly beautiful then unravels so fast--- I try to catch ahold of it, but fail. Or so I think... a single thread of thought stays with me, it winds through my fingers and glows Another thought floats by so I pluck at it. I let it intermingle with inspiration, then mesh it together with creativity My loom is my imagination my thoughts, my thread urging me, compelling me to weave the story and so I do. For I am a word weaver. As thoughts go in, words come out to create something that warms the heart, that uplifts the spirit. I am a word weaver of life. Allow my tapestry to comfort you, even just for a while. 01.18.10 125am written for Deborah's "How do you do it?" contest :)

Ah how true. We write, weave as you so eloquently put it, and we imbue our words with wisdom. It is our purpose that differentiates us as writers, and your purpose of comfort has without effort earned my respect.
