Musings on Life, Love, and Linguine-Poetry & Writing

Space of emptiness
Peering in the void between
Illuminating
Man’s essence reduced
Single page, short paragraphs
Obituary
A tentative life
At best, free spirited soul
That was my father

Isn’t the power in the process of writing amazing?
When I wrote the eulogy for my dad a few weeks ago, “An Iterative Tribute to Dad”, I was dumbfounded at not only how cathartic it was, but even more so how much it helped me to better understand my dad… why he was the way he was, why he did the things he did, how much I had actually learned from him without even realizing it. It helped me draw closer to him in spirit than I had been to him for years as we lived our separate lives.
I struggled immensely to get it started, and almost gave up, but now I am so glad that I persevered. Once I got going, it just flowed and now is one of the pieces I am most proud of.
May you find as much comfort in your writing as I did in mine.
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
