She tried to cross the river with fluidity and grace but way beyond her knowing human currents of disgrace were building and growing. Her destination nearly reached before the force upturned her grace, tensed what should be loose, and pushed her far off course. There came a stillness finally and she emerged bedraggled, wet, at a place she couldn’t understand and one that terrified. She followed then a path illuminated by the norms and existed scantily amidst the then unknown. She learnt the ways of humankind but the river, the river! Where is the river and how to retrace her steps when fluidity and grace lost in the past? But in her dreams she feels again how it used to be and she smiles into the ether because she knows, you see, she knows! Helen / 29 July 2013 |

It's the knowing, Helen, that is the good thing about coming out of a desperate and bad situation, eventually as we fight our way back we come to the road of "knowing," and the rest is much easier. ~*~ Did you hear about the cross eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils? ~*~ |

Thanks, Jerry. Perhaps it's just "Life" that is the bad situation but I'm not sure that fighting will get us out of it with the idea of reincarnation looming about. But, as they say, "whatever".  |
