I'm back in my Thursday night Wild Writing with Laurie Wagner ~ this is a part of the writing that came out tonight....
Why?
Why are we all coming here acting like we have it all together
when we know that moment we walk in that door and see Laurie's soft eyes~
all we want to do is fall into her arms and never come out?
Why are we all driving here to there so fast and furious ~ what is our hurry and does it all really matter?
Why does love make us do so much crazy fucking things?
Why do we want to be loved?
Why do we think love is enough or not?
Why do we care?
What is in each of us that makes us one way or another?
Why do we need to try to be perfect?
Why does sleeping on your back during pregnancy make you wrong?
Why does the head ache?
Why are we all weeping?
Why doesn't happiness feel like this?
Why are we all drawn together by our sorrow?
Why are we all trying to please and not hurt?
Why is honesty so hard?
Why is being blind and naive the best way to be?
Why is being early a good thing?
Why does color and light effect us so much?
Why does the sound of the ocean bring me peace?
Why does one thing one time not bring me the same happiness again?
Why are we all weeping?
Why does being a 2 year old give you so much power?
Why are we all weeping?
why....

Posted by: la vie en rose at September 26, 2007 11:49 AMWow. This piece packs a punch, Stef. Bracingly honest, daring, piercing, searching, and somehow, through it all, open to change, to relief, to hope. Thank you.

You always pour so much emotion into your writing and don't know "why"... But it sure feels so good when our words come out, doesn't it? xxo
