Power of Prose

259.8 - yeah, I don't know what's up with that...
W2D2 - 1.91 miles (a whole 1/10 of a mile further than Monday!)

So I follow a couple blogs, including one written by one of my best friends from high school. Have you ever read someone - some writer that seems to write about using a hammer (or some other banal thing) and have it always be complete and utter poetry? My friend writes like this. I can smell the jasmine scented air and feel the moist heat of the far east when I read her words. A "mommy" blog that I read, the writer does the same. Absolute poetry, thick with metaphor, every sentence like some kind of meditation.

People that can write with such evocative imagery... they are on my list of people I wish I could be like. Who is on yours?

  1. I have a friend who, no matter what, sees the best in people. I want to be like her!

    I found your blog on the forums at Stephanie O'Dea's website. I recently started a similar blog: slimsammy@blogspot.com.

    I also just finished the c25k thing, and ran a race on Saturday. It was awesome... And hard!!! But it's a very brave thing to do, and, as my husband keeps reminding me- if it was easy, everyone would do it!

    Good luck to you :-)
