…all the pieces required if mending’s your desire no holding back no clinging– letting go… that’s the ticket in the thicket of pain confusion heartache even in the gray of dismay in the shred of anguish when red drops stain the refrain of tears that mirror the core of your being seeing only a cloud of circumstances unclasp your fingers and let– God ©Virginia Salter (thank you, Craig Fraley, for the springboard) Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Letting go of many things that bother or upset, is the ticket as you said. JO |

Yes indeed, letting go is the key to survival and happiness, but some people find it very difficult to let go. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Thank you, both, for reading. It must be sticking with you Jo. I'm wondering if there's a particular reason for it to do so. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Virginia I have a problem when I post a reply. For some reason, maybe because I use Google, It does not show for a long tine and makes me think I did not hit Submit Reply. Then I come back hours later and see I did it twice because I thought the first one did not go through. I will have to wait a g full day before replying now. Sorry about that. jo |

Your poem is full of human emotion and the obstacles/curve balls that we encounter, which in turn build character and strength, giving way to faith and wisdom. Your ending says it all. Good on ya, VAS. |

Thanks, Sunshine, love that you came by to read. Thanks for the encouragement, too. Craig Fraley is our current pastor and his message Sunday was about healing a broken heart, it can be done, God can do it, but we need to give Him all,ALL, the pieces. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Absolutely beautiful and uplifting, dear Virginia. When we know that we are not alone when we try to overcome suffering, we are already halfway through. Gratitude is due for this help that comes from Above indeed. Love, Margherita  |
