#6 0f 52 creations "jenga"

stacking: a piling-on, of sorts, i suppose
 a piling-on,  of disappointment
                                           failure
                                           exhaustion
                                           anger
                                           alone-ness
                                           mundane-ness
                                           ill-ness
                                           crazy pace
                                           on & on it goes
                                           finally ...
                                                       all
                                                         comes
                                                           crashing
                                                                  D
                                                                  O
                                                                  W

"i've always had a very comfortable relationship with No. 2 pencils."          william styron
i love that quote......... i love words....i love to write thots

this lil writing birthed out of playing with a whole new avenue of thinking regarding  the notion of 'stacking'  and it's content was influenced by a recent suicide of a young man and a troubled young marriage that we became aware of.

"the unconscious creates, the ego edits."   stanley kunitz
(that's me with this new angle of stacking.....)    seems a lil more vulnerable to share a writing than an actual stacking of items !!

doll...whew...ok.... this was hard to push that publish blog button....felt a lil more vulnerable...interesting isn't it?

this thot came as i mentioned before, that one morn when i was writing my morning pages and i had a whole flurry of different angles for the notion 'stacking': i was contemplating the whole notion of the piling on that can happen in the human heart......
# 1 edit once i worked it a bit... my reaction was....oh, but it seems so negative and that made me hesitant
i do believe that the heart can experience a piling on of god's amazing ways....that may be coming in the next weeks...we'll see but for now, this is where my heart went......i feel, there are sadly, way too many people in today's society where a thot like this may be applicable ; (
#2 edit now, of course...i couldn't figure out how to play with the font enough, rotate letters,etc. nor take the time for that level of editing...cause we are at the hotel !!!!!!! but i did want to say that i intended for the second line...a piling on of disappointment to be spaced directly under the top ...a piling on, of sorts...don't know how that got moved cause i'm sure i typed it the way i intended
oh well......that's just the ego talking teehee

well enjoy doll........we'll talk this week
all my love and squeezes

thanks for being vulnerable...i think i'd rather talk about this one in person. :) love you.

oh kiddos..how funny...now rereading what i wrote from the context of you thinking i had written this DURING our time at the hotel...i can see how it looks like it may be representative of me or us or where we were at !!!! no, no ....i punched this in the first thing after we arrived as i just wanted to complete my assignment !!! teehee (as dad called grandpa) ...then we began our wonderful 24 hrs

so sorry......WE HAD A MOST FABULOUS TIME !!!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE 'STACKING', THE LEVELS IN THE WONDERFUL WAY THE LORD LEADS US... that's what we can talk more about ...and you might even see a writing trying to depict that concept of stacking to come......... : 0

also...i figured out how to edit my post too, now that we're home with some time to think and added a lil more to the words below.... hopefully giving some clearer context to 'jenga' it was merely a 'playful' exercise in looking at many different angles in a series...that happened to surround the sad reality of some human heart journeys we had just heard of..........oh my

my vulnerability simply was in submitting something different..... i sure love you two, i sure love this '52' project

oh oops...my first comment was left under cole's name. :) the edited notes make the intent of this just a little clearer. or maybe that's because the cold medicine has worn off...heehee!
