Feeling the life week on WIZ

by Patricia | 8.17.09

If you’re doing the human being thing with any gusto, you’ve more than likely experienced moments of awakening, of not only feeling more alive yourself but of feeling the lives of others around touching your life, dancing through, affecting and changing who you are, entwining into your being (you can read about some of my awakenings here).  In my opinion, you can’t wind too deeply into life.  And no matter how deeply you do ravel, greater depths and more intricate braiding patterns remain.  If you learn them, they weave you into a lively tapestry that changes nearly every breath you take.

This week on WIZ we’re celebrating that heady condition of feeling the life that you are and the life of others around, be they strangers or loved ones.  We’re singing songs of relishing being alive and of maturing through levels and stages of life.  Have fun, and readers, please feel free to raise in the comments your own thoughts about what it means to feel alive or to face the challenges that  circumstances have presented to your feeling as alive as you desire.

Let’s see what we can make of this third week of August 2009.

    This may or may not have to do with feeliing the life week, but I have noticed something major in my writings. I found a hand-written, two page story I wrote back when I was in third grade. I compaired it with ‘Into Freedom’ and was amazed at how much my writings, feeling, and point of view had matured. My mom also noted this when I showed her.

    Believe it or not, that still happens to me, also–like over this last year. May it never stop.

    Oo, good topic. If I wasn’t suddenly swamped offline, I could really jump into this one.
