I have repented
to my hearts' content
regrets I have visited o'er time
enough
I ask the oft visited
dead bones of my long-ago
to vanish from my beleaguered thoughts
hew and bury them at last
forever and forever
I have made my piece with the world
but still you
smite my consciousness
time and time again
like a smoldering, seething unkind
reminder
a bleeding phantom
then . . .
drip by sarcastic drip
I'm besieged by constant sorrow
(hat tip to George Clooney)
and agitated jaunt
reliving youthful (and beyond)
misadventures

"MAGICAL," a novel co-authored by Jerry Pat Bolton and Jane Noponen Perinacci

Elin Saari has lived with terror no woman should ever have to endure. Devlin Grimm, the man she fell hard for turned out to be so cruel she began to silently call him Satan. The years spent with Satan were so severe she truly felt she had no mind of her own. Something inside of her made her break away and file for divorce. Satan upped the ante and she had to run to get away from him. But wherever she went he would find and harass her. She was at her wits end when something profound happened. Through the magic of a strange necklace she began to receive messages, until desperately she tried to summon whoever was trying to contact her. When Touch Starlin' walked into her life and explained who he was and how closely connected they were Elin could not remember at first. Touch took charge of trying to rid her of Satan – the name she had pinned on him was closer to the truth that she could have ever known. Satan follows them wherever they go and Elin begins to doubt Touch's Powers.

An impressive invocation for inner peace, dear Jerry. Every new day invites us to be aware of the gift of life and the opportunity to improve our learning process and our evolution. The darker the experiences of the past, the brighter the call for change in our Now and Future. Look at your misadventures like fertilizers for the flower you are now ... it's time to bloom and to be grateful for what is, letting go.

Peace,
Margherita

I really have found peace, Margherita, except every so often I get flashbacks of mine and others sins which affected me. Guess they will never leave me completely. Thank you very much for being here today.
