Hello Again, Again

I've been gone for a while.  More mentally than physically, but the results are the same.  I recently visited with a friend who likes to write.  The thing is, she is more caught up in the sound of the words than the message.  I think you have to get over that one.  It took me a while to get over a love for words.  I think it's part of something we have to do to be able to communicate.  It's wonderful when they come together, but in the end, the words must serve the message, and not the other way around.  I know poets have been trying forever to get the right mixture, and some actually pull it off, but that's not the point, to me.  Then again, maybe it is the point, and that's why I've been gone.  Who knows.  It will take a smarter person than I am to figure that one out.  Hopefully, I will get it together sometime soon and start writing again.  I take a notebook with me where ever I go in case something pops out, but it just hasn't happened lately.  Maybe when spring actually springs, it will happen.  Until then....
