For years I have been saying that I am going to write. Many ideas swirl in my head, memories from childhood, reflections from teenage years, and hardships/joys from adulthood. But, they usually spin and go into hiding until quiet catches up on me. Sadly, silence escapes me most days. A darkness has begun to cling to my thoughts, and I keep hearing this voice calling me to write. Time is riding its horse, and I can no longer sit on the fence watching it gallop past. So, here is my promise. I am now writing. Today begins the process.
