But it was bound to happen given that we have language. I hope you all will be able to sing again together soon. I realized that my two modes of prayer are silence and song and to be deprived of the latter was such a cross. Thank you for praying for me--the road to recovery is long. My librarian is 3 mo ahead of me so I always look forward to seeing what she can do now. She's 90% there. And writing, JOY!

I'm grateful for our choir director who starts children off reading Gregorian chant...hopefully it won't be too much longer until we can all sing again.<br />Praying for your continued healing, and I can't wait to see what you're writing!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326446352568133662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-89357195311557791302021-02-06T18:21:39.239-05:002021-02-06T18:21:39.239-05:00Back in Control by David Hanscom taught me how muc...Back in Control by David Hanscom taught me how much this writing life mitigated those awful migraines. And it works for emotional pain too. I agree about the acute trauma--you have to heal from it before you can get on with life. We are so blessed to have this creative life.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-24941318498703363082021-02-04T16:20:10.920-05:002021-02-04T16:20:10.920-05:00"...Pain really and truly recedes when you ar..."...Pain really and truly recedes when you are focused on something else"<br /><br />So true. I find I can write through emotional pain, (though not acute trauma) but physical pain is a whole different thing.<br />So glad you found a way back to creativity.
