RE: Weekend freewrite, this one trailed off to a strange nowhere land.
Wow! This is some freewrite @girlbeforemirror! Love your take on coping ... such a vile word really, but sometimes, it's all we've got. Keep on fighting the fight regardless <3
I see @quillfire has announced your presence to many, including me :) Thanks for the heads-up Quill; and welcome to @powerhousecreatives!
@lynnecoyle1 & @girlbeforemirror,
Me too ... that's the part that hit me the hardest. I had never thought of "coping" in the way Marg expressed it and it struck me as being "profoundly true." There is a purity of metal that can only be obtained via the fires of a crucible and, I suspect, the same could be said of human beings.
Such hard-fought-for quintessence of humanity is, perhaps, why I'm so impressed with the two of you.
Quill
Aww shucks. Thank you :)
That idea of "coping" has been the hardest for Brian, and I think that's why her thoughts really struck me. He's lived his life very well and hates not being able to do that now. It's all not right on so many levels.
In spite of his very confidant profile, I believe our mate @quillfire is a big softy. He crusades with an enormous heart.
I know that you know this about him too, as he toots your trumpet when you or your partner post as well.
Thank you for taking the time to comment here on my ramblings. I have followed your more recent posts (thanks to quill), and am glad to meet you here.
I wish to say something heartfelt to acknowledge what you are going through, but words can feel so inept at the times they are needed most.
Having this group of genuine people at your fingertips is a blessing. Steemit has been that for me, across many groups and borders. We here a lot about the things that are not working on steemit, but coin and politics aside, the communities are real, more real sometimes for people like me who don't get out and about much.
I am grateful to you Paul, for your encouragement and friendship, and to @lynncoyle1 and all of phc peeps and the many steemians who have for almost 3 yrs bolstered me.
It was really my pleasure reading this @girlbeforemirror :)
Agreed. He does put on a good show though, doesn't he?! :)
I appreciate your sentiments regarding Brian and myself. Words, as beautiful as they are, can seem so inadequate sometimes. We are managing (I won't say "coping" :) fairly well, all things considered. I feel very thankful for having found him in the first place; I'm sometimes angry that it will be so short lived, but overall, I appreciate that we've found something that many others never do.
PHC is a wonderful community to be a part of. They're real peeps for sure :)
@girlbeforemirror & @lynncoyle1
Not true. He is as hard as nails.
I'm glad you guys have met. My instincts tell me you'd make good friends.
Quill
Must you chime in on everything ? :)
@lynncoyle1,
Must I? No.
Quill
Will you? Yes.
