Summers Over. I've only just returned.
Things like routine and normalcy are surrounding my senses.
In a not so pleasant way. (The created cage of Life I so resist)
I'm not sure if I'm ready to be back, but,
I have a few things to say.
To the person who sent me the book about Kevin.
I got it.
*fantastic surprise*
I thank You, very much.
I will be reading it soon and letting you know what I thought.
To the person who wrote a letter to me that they missed my writing.
I miss reading about your days and thoughts as well.
I'll be writing something just for you, soon.
Chefs surprise?
Request?
To my Patron of the Pen and fellow seeker.......
I hope you are well, I miss you and
hope your new endeavor is waxing the hell out of Texas.
I will write.
To the person who checks in once in awhile, I've only just read your words.
I thank you, understand and admire from afar.
This picture is for you, a real Pig.
To my raven friend. The crickets are still singing for you today.
Hand against your breast......beat beat.....
To everyone else.
I hope you are well and that your summer was divine.
Let the hibernation commence.

Oh no! Can't your hibernation be over! We miss you! I miss you!
I know what you mean, I just flew back last night from Washington State...I think God must of smiled when he created that place...it is so gorgeous. If I were younger I think I would enjoy visiting every state in the union, each is so diverse. Glad you are back, do miss your beautiful words....but glad you had a good restful escape.....love, Sandi
Welcome back. Hibernation? You must be kidding still great stuff to do during the cold months even though it's colder up where you are. ~ Mike
I recommend chef's surprise. The chef is the author of some exquisite essays, piquant poems, and rapture-inducing reminisces.
Welcome back.
Yay! I'm glad you are back. Can't wait to hear about your adventures. ~~Kath~~
The photos are so beautiful, I didn't realize I was missing the sound, the music. The one snow scene looks almost as if it was taken near my home; thankfully, there's not snow yet! I'm almost ready for fall now. Just, does it all have to come so fast? May you, too, find some moments of still peace, and beauty of just being. Wishing you well. Did you get my postcard? As for public writing, gosh, I dont' even know where to re-start myself. So many things and yet, well. Cocoon if that's what you need. The world awaits your reawakening, or at least, some of us do:) -- Robin
I wonderd where you had got to. Welcome back.

LoL @ hibernation. I guess thats what I'd call staying in for the upcoming weather change too.
Hope you had a wonderful summer too.
Charles
another summer tucked safely in your heart. No doubt, on a cold winters night you will summon it with all its warmth and magic!
Always wonderful to see your words, pics and songs!
Peace & Warmth...Marc :)
After this summers events, I'm rather craving the quiet refuge of normalcy dear friend. I've missed you tremendously. I know you would understand my lack of writing...although for more reasons than I can count you've never been far from my mind. In those moments of trepidation, I would simply imagine those mtns. you escape to, the rivers and the deep waters. I believe I was probably with you throughout most of it, in spirit at the very least. Watch for my words soon...there is much to say, yet a quiet reverence of my favorite season. Autumn brings her cloak of gold and russet, to gently put us into our hibernation, through winters weary resistance. We'll warm one another's hearts with words of friendship and await springs emergence once again. Through you I feel the crickets song...(hugs and many warm smiles dear friend)....Indy
Yeah, yeah I still read on the down low. Tell no one.
I have missed your words. I hope this is just the first entry of many??? Dare I hope?
love,
Marie

There is something incredibly engaging about your journal...and you. I don't remember how I found your journal...but it's a very good thing.

Great to hear from you, Rebecca! We thought about you while on vacation at Cades Cove which made us think about all of your camping/hunting trips.
Is that a rainbow trout? Nice. Looks like you were having more fun than he was.
It's good to see an entry from you.

Hi. Just wondering where you're headed once AOL finishes it's complete boot out for all journals. If you go to blogspot please contact me, I would love to add you on. Hope to see you there. My address there is :http://onewaytrip18.blogspot.com/
Thanks, Ada
What a great catch in the picture!!! Hope your summer was resplendent with warmth and happiness! - B arbara
Hi Girlie ;) What a knock out of a creature you are! (Just a tad jealous with that fish there, Ma'am...I've laways wanted to fly fish...:::sigh:::...). Please let me know if you are (or have) moved to a knew blog home, with the closing of AOL Journals? I've been scarce too. LIFE...oy vay. ;) C.
I already made this comment on your very first entry...just don't exactly trust AOL will alert you to the comment on an older entry so here it is in repeat:
My dearest friend,
I've had so many nostalgic moments lately. I deleted Raven's Lament, then discovered I didn't save it right on disk. Luckily it was restored and moved over to Blogger. It sits there quiet for the moment. I started another journal (Blog is so impersonal it's almost like something that bogs you down in a swamp). I'm still finding my voice there...
I was surprised so many followed me and comment even there....
I almost...almost not quite gave up the ghost of writing in any forum, then I decided there are still chapters being written in my own life, still lessons being learned. Writing is my much needed therapy, my sanity...whether I want to admit it or not.
I don't know what your plans are, if you will continue to journal in another format, Blogger or somewhere else. We already have another connection to each other, another way to stay in touch. I do know your words are powerful, spiritual and inspiring...not just to me either, to more than you realize. Let me know where the path leads dear friend...I'd follow you anywhere.
On the subject of Nostaglia...my mother is back in the picture...not in a good way...so yeah, sometimes it's not so good going back is it?
For now I can be found here: http://deafscreams.blogspot.com/
My new journal name is aptly enough....Scream Quietly...yes, the Raven is still a very much part of me over there, she's just trying to find her voice again....Love you dear friend and miss your words, miss you much. (Hugs)Indigo
