Lessons that Time Teaches I hear voices blazing with knowledge, dredged from years of becoming and beginning, they shout the night and still the day. It is my voice multiplied. My voice from before it had reason, the voice passed to me from the rough file and texture of living, the ancestor of my eyes and the color of my mood. It tells me secrets that I feel beneath the fabric of my skin. It uncovers the wholeness of what grows and entangles, what reaps and purifies minutes. The mother of my mother with her white shroud and the gold nugget of time wrapped around her memory has requested my spirit to listen. Listen to lessons that time teaches. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

Another lovely one! ~Astraea "Sometimes stars can only be seen in darkness." "Sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things." |

Martie, truly beautiful..."listen to lessons" truly are wonderful words of advice!! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

The lessons we ignore Time always seems willing to reteach us too, I've noticed. Very gentle and sweet words, but very strong in meaning. Well done, Martie. Michael |
