Wow Diane! I just cleared a bit (just a bit!) of my desk and found the URL for your blog. I’ve been reading and reading –I love it! I love your poetry. I love your writing. I love your thoughts…

I notice that the last time you wrote it was still May –what’s up today?

Did you know you inspired me to quit Chapters? After you left Chapters I did some figuring and discovered that with only TWO HOURS of teaching art classes I can make up the same (a bit more, actually) income as I made in four shifts at Chapters. Well, it wasn’t a big step from those figures to leaving Chapters. I advertised and filled the two classes within two days and gave my notice that week.
Come see my new art school!
Come have tea with me!
Come celebrate freedom!
hugs,
Terry

This piece brings to mind a beautifully written thought I first heard several years ago. ‘when you take the first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe one of two things will happen… there will be something solid for you to stand upon – or, you will be taught how to fly.’

You already have your wings – but you’ve known that for a long time, haven’t you.

And yes, your imagery of of living in the presence of ‘what isn’t', is profound. That’s what most of our lives is, isn’t it. I love your writings but find it takes me a long, long time to delve through each paragragh, trying to catch my breath.

Thank you so much for putting so eloquently into words what most of us only feel – you help us all to see so clearly.

Wow, Diane, you’re twanging my heartstrings again dear sister. Your imagery is so rich and full. You had me laughing too. You are a joy. See you soon I hope, waiting for that pathfinder to find its way to me in Vancouver, love and hugs, cyl

Diane – what a beautifully written piece – thoughtful and funny and wise. I especially love your imagery of the hole in the rock. A deftly imagined and unique way to describe your insights about living in the presence of ‘what isn’t', rather than the strength of ‘what is’. And your wisdom to love both.

You’re back! And you are truly a gem.

Hey Diane
Isn’t it wonderful, the momentum acquired in the moment! Every day a little push into the light…
Thanks for the honesty.

I am so glad I checked to see if you had written anything. I can remember those Novembers, always a bad month for me. Thank-you for sharing your journey with all of us. I love your description of the silence across the bridge. I too have been finding solace in the outdoors once again. I am so happy to be walking and breathing and being even if it is in the desert here in Kamloops. Be happy for the rain!! It will be so interesting to see where and what is next in store for you. Keep writing my friend, I too will keep reading if you keep writing.
Love val

My dearest Diane — Not sure why Natch showed up, love how you told the story though. It’s funny how in an instant one’s whole perspective can take a 90 degree turnaround, keep writing, love ya. cyl

Hello, Diane. It’s been many years, and I think of you from time to time. You’re a beautiful writer, have you published anything yet? I’m so happy to find you, and I’ll keep reading, if you keep writing……
