Words from the Heart

Ahh.. To hear the clacking of the keys pounding the words from the heart onto the paper. Such memories are more often a dream than reality today.

Life Goes On

Time keeps things changing. I remember typing on an old manual typewriter growing up. There was a certain rhythm to the sound of the words being put onto the paper. If you went too fast, the keys would get tangled up. You had to have a steady pace and the ability to maintain that pace even when your thoughts tried to force you to type faster. Sometimes it seemed that my heart beat kept time with the pounding of each key.

 

Today, a keyboard provides a nice quiet click-clack as my fingers race through words. My mistakes are more frequent. When you know you no longer have to retype the entire page if you make a mistake, you know you can fly through the words and fix any typos later. The computer has been a blessing for the editing process, but sometimes I still miss the steady rhythm of that old manual typewriter.

 

Just like the computer has speeded up typing, it seems our entire lives have sped up to keep pace with some unseen leader. No matter how fast we go, it seems we always need to strive to go faster. I must be getting old, because I am tired of trying to catch that ever elusive leader. I just want to sit under a shade tree, eat some homemade ice cream, and share a story or two.

 

This website will include links to my writing as well as some stories found only here. Take a look around. Email me and let me know what you think. I enjoy hearing from those that read the words that pour forth from my heart. Enjoy my words, enjoy your day, and share your kindness with others.
