Friday Flash 55 — Being

Image: from 1000 drawings by sarah nieman, via Tumblr



More than just the personal blip
that at first she thought it was,
instead,
a major discomposure, a gravitational
pull, bore heavily down and
around her, compressing her essence
for self examination, then
gently
it drifted and filtered away, and,
with it, she too began to let go,
being
a being of release and liberation.



My post in exactly 55 words written for Friday Flash 55.

    Decompressing and floating away. That feels good!

    Blessings and Bear hugs!

    Love this. You wouldn't think being is such a hard thing to do. But it is.

    One often feels there are obstacles that are in the way. But if it gently drifts away it wouldn't be that bad. Nicely Writer!

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
