titles. Seed and Reseed.
I came up with a great title for my poetry submission packet--
SEED AND RESEED.
(At least, I think it's great... Thanks, God, for the idea.)
While going through my poetry from last semester, I realize that so much of my mind and writings at that time were helping me through the drawn-out struggle that was giving up on a friendship for good and with dealing with that hurt. Questions about grace, and God's presence, and sanity, and about keeping going. Questions of identity, of wisdom, of trying to get back to a lost place. And aren't we all looking for, wanting to
get back to a place that's been lost?
Maybe restoration will come yet.
6AM, time to sleep.

As much as I love my life now, and desipite the fact I feel more alive than ever, I think I'm wanting to go back to what has been lost.
The place I'm longing for probably was never as good as what I'm idealizing it to be.
Over time bitterness seems to be drained out of my memory and only the sweetness remains with me. It's a blessing. But at the same time it hinders my ability to make the most of the present, at times...
It's harder to live in now than it seems.

when did you submit your poetry? I clocked in at 11:25 this morning - it was so exciting! There were people all over the hallway organizing their papers, looking frantic. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner!

lea-i submitted around 10:45 or so... before it got frantic. it is exciting, isn't it? i wish we didn't have to wait till april to find out--but there are so many entrants.
now running on little sleep. i only turned in poetry, now i've gotta get tomorrow's homework started.
strunny-6:30AM was when i finally went to be that night. 4:30AM last night/morning. tonight will be early.
megumi-the sweetness you're experiencing now hinders your ability to live in the present? did i misunderstand? does this mean that you have little to worry about in the present, therefore it's easy to let your mind wander?

I understand about questioning and what it means to give up a friendship for good.
I like the title. I take it this is a competition packet? Thanks, as always, for sharing some of it here.
