I have no wish to add to pain--
I simply weary of these words.
Measure loss against the gain
as destiny assures
we run the wheel within the cage
and close our ears to squeak
denying words of prophecy
as history digs grave.

There is much we do not know--
the grace of God is but our guess.
There's no such thing as holy oil
and I am weary now of death.

Karen sweetie, such poignant writing this morning, but so completely done in Serenity style....as only you can do it.

I must have had my momma's will
and Gods Amazing Grace...

(big hugggssssssss) I guess it's up to you to decide if such a light is a genuine option belief or not, but belief is what is worth reassuring so keep doing so! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Serenity~ Touching words.
Sometimes your heart tries to hide the pain, but your words betray you. We all just care so much and hope all is well with you...Paul

we run the wheel within the cage

Liked that line!

all the spinning and chasing of my own tale is enough to wear me out, and then I wonder why I can't catch my breath!  (duh)
