I always get a bit nervous when I get a notification for a comment on a blog post.
Could someone have noticed the horrible grammar? the run-on sentences? a spell correct that resulted in a risqué statement? maybe I offended their political, religious or dietary views? or, maybe it will be a comment from someone who knows me, and they are calling me a hypocrite?
Most of the time, though, the comment goes like this:
“I so needed that today” or “that is exactly what I am dealing with right now”
These comments are always the most precious to me, for they remind me, over and over, that
I am not alone.
For I can only write from the place of experience, having been there. I can only be sincere, if I have sincerely had the same thoughts, fears and wishes that I write about.
To discover that we share a life of experiences, thoughts and feelings that is parallel to another oxygen-breathy, fleshly human being is to find kinship, commonality, friendship that is soul-deep.
May we continue to experience the birth of friendships from that which we share. So, don’t forget to share your joys and sorrows, strengths and weaknesses, with those around you … you might just find that you are not alone.
“Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.”
Romans 12:15
