words half asleep

[missprune]

There are things that cannot be said with harsh words.
There are things that must be said with gentle words.

Even beautiful words. To explain

How the hard knot of fear might loosen at last,

If only for a moment.

Lovely and well put.

I don't know about "well put," I was sort of intrigued by the way the almost-asleep mind chose to say something...

so beautiful and so much the stuff of life.

Thank you - I'd never write something like this when really awake!

Beautiful!

Do you ever find your mind writing things while you're dozing???

[cathy_edgett]

Interesting question. I have to think about that. I love those early morning moments, and yes, perhaps those insights that sneak in when I'm not at attention. Hmm! I think it is about allowing perhaps, and noticing, and maybe I could set the dial of my attention and intention to catch those little waves a little stronger these days.

I'm contemplating!

Right on, write on!
