Linda, I love
the way you say so much with such economy of words!
And they pack a
wallop.
~ Laura Boggess, The
Wellspring ~
We are a wordy people. We live and breathe and have our being in a swirling sea of images, of stories, of experiences, of learnings. And write we must. Truth begs to be uttered. Faith cries out to be expressed. And if we don't put pen to paper, from someplace deep within our yearning unsettled soul groans aloud.
Some of the most power-filled posts I've read have been short. You click on to a site, one of many that day, glancing at the image presented. Your roving eyes might subconsciously scan the page, checking out the length of this read. You spy only a few paragraphs. And immediately you settle in, breathing an odd sigh of relief, for you have waded through so many lengthy writings, and truth is, you've skimmed more than you've savored. And you're just a bit weary and unsatisfied. You're craving something unexpectedly simple. Profoundly rich. Deeply soul-filling. And just a bit unique.
I want to be one to put a delectable treasure on the table that just begs to be savored. Not skimmed. I want another soul to sit and rest for awhile. To reflectively ponder. To be filled to overflowing by the rich feast they have just enjoyed. And to come back another day for yet a second helping. But for that to come to pass, I will need to uncap my red pen. And bravely, deeply edit my black-fonted heartfelt creation.
