my God my God where am I? I know where You are Lord, but where am I in this back and forth world hurrying to destinations over paths which if traversed step by step in sandals worn and dusty would be second thoughted out of existence where am I when busy keeps my mind off Grace and Mercy and a Sacrifice whose Love is beyond comprehension where am I when this unpalatable cup of grief served without my asking is pushed just out of reach purposefully forming a film age thickening as if protected from a single thought’s piercing this race is for running and for finishing quitting is not an option given nor is sideline sitting for the careful half full is considered next to empty but for me empty only means many more miles to go run walk crawl does it matter in what order we finish loved ones and strangers as well finish their appointed race each minute of every day my God my God my protection is pierced tears choke in my throat the pain runs faster than I waiting for me at every turn and though my feet would stop to stay grief’s grip my hope is in the other side of the finish |

my hope is in the other side of the finish In all the time that I have known you, I have found that your hope never waivers and is truly an inspiration to us all.  It is so good to read your words again and see your shine here on these blue pages. |

my hope is in the other side of the finish ~*~ See, even my daughter and I agree that you've not let loose of elusive hope. And that, m'dear is because you really realize just how strong you are, which constantly surprises even you.  |

thank you all so much...between busy and life, my muse got the best of me and took my pen...*shrug* though I think I'd be better off if I let her have it a little more often... sunshine and gentle spirit...I only hope that my hope and faith are as strong as you both read them to be *s* |

this race is for running and for finishing quitting is not an option given nor is sideline sitting for the careful half full is considered next to empty but for me empty only means many more miles to go This hurts to read, dear lady... hurts to know... but is written so magnificently!! And aren't our muses funny creatures? *S* They hide when we'd like to make use of them... then steal our pens to have their way. *S* Yours did a great job... *S* |

my God my God my protection is pierced tears choke in my throat the pain runs faster than I waiting for me at every turn and though my feet would stop to stay grief’s grip my hope is in the other side of the finish this was not only creative, but made the reader feel that uncanny desire to become a better person. this was terrifically written...thank you |

You have a powerful beginning in this one--it captured me right away and pulled me in. Excellent ending as well. This one is going to stay with me for a while. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Luminous One, you've been missed! "where am I when busy keeps my mind off Grace and Mercy and a Sacrifice whose Love is beyond comprehension" ~ You are not alone in that place! A very moving piece of soul spilling. May your life flow with grace and ease.  Love & God's Light, EA |
