Thought-provoking

Journaling is one of those things that some do in order to spill forth their thoughts, feelings, opinions, grievances, blessings and sorrows. It may be used for record keeping, idea logging or insight gaining. There is a healing nature of Journaling, that mankind recognizes. Even if our journals are never seen by reading eyes, we have, in some realm, but forth our words into a life form of their own. It is from within this life form that the healing comes. As our words take on 3-dimensional personas, we begin to assert the ability to change the words, their meanings and the ideas from which they were birthed. It is not until our words take this 3-dimensional form that we are able to see the basis from which they come; and therein lies the opening for change, growth and insight.

While this is an excellent source of Journaling, would it be safe to say there is never complete transparency in fear of being discovered? Does the cloak of a user handle, computer screen and keyboard truly allow us to exhibit our innermost thoughts, feelings and desires? For some, possibly.

The healing that comes through journaling is a creature that wraps its arms around your broken heart; it embraces your soul and offers the smallest pieces of mending thread. One stitch at a time, through one word at a time...
