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.

Being reviewed

By way of Technorati, I discovered last weekend that this blog had been reviewed on August 14 by Mary Ward of the blog review team at DoYouDiggIt.com. I have no idea how this came about, whether Do You Digg It! reviews are done on a random basis or if prompted specifically by another person or link or...?

Ms. Ward is a thoughtful reviewer who obviously really reads the blogs that she's reviewed. I noticed that within a three-week time frame she also wrote about two of my favorite blogs, (This Time This Space reviewed on 07-26-08, and Writing to Survive reviewed on 08-13-08). Those reviews are as unique to the special qualities of each blog as I think her review was of Writerquake. What's more, she described me as a "passionate and well-rounded being," a phrase that gets to the core of how I'd hope to be remembered. To be called a being, and a passionate and well-rounded one at that, transcends any other statements about me that I can recall. Thanks, Mary.
