Dear Smoldering Wick:hibye:,
I hope you don't mind if I start a thread to make comments on your writing.:hug: I don't want to disturb the writing and like your creative writings, as I do many of other people's creative thoughts, writings, research:love:
I would like to start on the journal entry where a man needs a hug. Huge vulnerability for a guy. I take the role of the wife who feels her husband is disingenuous, I can really relate. I have lumped flaws and faults where I feel that someone wouldn't have done those things if they really loved me. This is an amazingly hard obstacle to overcome.
Sleeping like a log reminds me of having to gather firewood or move logs to the sled on the snowmobile. Now, if you gathered wood like many of the country generations before me and are around children, you under stand when a child is in a deep and you carry them like a log or firewood. Deep sleep has the most "dead" "heavy" feeling than when you pick up an awake, active child. Add the fact that children get heavier, they are associated with a log. Another sleep wood analogy occurred in my home. My step dad snores loud and the expression is that he's sawing wood. My step dad was a lumberjack for a period of his life, so I don't know if my family was influenced by loggers(?). I'm sure we were because logging is in my family.The last few generations of loggers that didn't have all the machinery that they do things with now.
Nice visiting:giverose:
With Sis Love, Debbie
