prayers for the reasons why #5. stone by stone Ok, ok I have three books under my belt for this week alone but procrastination can only deter this need for so long I have been tasked and I must start piles of pebbles push at my feet as if Someone else is helping. A studied survey shows a tangled stony muddle this is not a pretty wall at all finality has cemented each into its in place. Sin? Anger? Bitterness? Unforgiveness. No. Grief. It is woven into every complexity. and unforgiveness stands firm at the base. I will go no further today I cannot forgive death and I can do no more crying. Lord cover me shelter me from myself... |

Luminosity, I have read every one of these latest poems of yours, and I wanted to reply to each of them, but I just couldn’t. I felt so powerless to help in the face of such anguish, and I still do. As regards humans, other than friends on Pip, I haven’t had any humans to grieve – my parents . . . well, I will rather keep quiet about them . . . but my horse, my previous cat and my previous dog who are in Heaven, I grieve for them every day and my horse has been in Heaven for 10 years, my dog for nearly 3 years, and my cat for 2 years – and all my previous animals, though seeing that my dog was 14½ years old and my cat was 15½, so my previous dogs and cats went to Heaven a very long time ago, but I miss them all very powerfully – and so yes, I understand grief through death, but of animals. I wish I could help, but I don’t know where to begin, except that I care that you are so anguished. Owl |

Sometimes we can misplace our understanding, our compassion for others, our willingness to face tragedy head-on, and we are then captive to complacency. With each breath, each second, each day, week, month, and year we unconsciously move toward a new beginning. It is faith that is the glue which holds all things together and in place. All we need do is perceive that which seems impossible and trust in its truth, and go along for the ride. God bless, and a big hug to you!! JL  Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Maranatha! |
