You are a Lover of Words
One Day, You Will Write a Book
People turn to you because you give voice to dreams, notice little things, and
make otherwise impossible imaginings appear real.
You are a rare bird who thinks the world is beautiful enough to try to figure it out,
who has the courage to dive into your wild mind and go swimming there.
You are someone who still believes in cloud watching, people watching,
daydreaming, tomorrow, favorite colors, silver clouds,
dandelions, and sorrow.
Be sacred. Be cool. Be wild. Go far.
Words do more than plant miracle seeds.
With you writing them, they can change the world.
Since receiving this card, I've read it many times. It always makes me smile; not just because I love the words, but because it tells me how well my son knows and believes in me.
I'll be the first to admit I don't have much of an imagination. My friend, Laurie, once told me I was best at writing about things I'd experienced. I do love to watch people; they fascinate me. I don't know that I'm ever going to write anything that will change the world, but my words might make just one person think, or discover that they are stronger than they ever believed possible.
