Love today the bread of life in standard height and measure cut so to please the ill at ease and satisfy desire. Pass the spread, harmonic spread, but I am left to grieve the feeble hands of womanhood that miss a forward pass. Still wanting and in need; do you ask that I believe even backward passes move forward on a breeze? Pass, pass; listen how she pleads but no one spreads from corners in the way she learnt to do and her coat of many colours begets a plate of crumbs. Down the line to the ground; how frenzied is the feed of the wild and common on fragments of the whole! Helen / 24 September 2005 |

"Pass, pass; listen how she pleads but no one spreads from corners in the way she learnt to do and her coat of many colours begets a plate of crumbs." This is so sad. Unfortunately, I think this kind of runs true for many, many women. It is hard being a woman sometimes...but there is a "Rose Room"....I saw it in a dream and there is plenty of bread there.  .....jo |

Yes, Jo - I like your dream of a Rose Room and now we just have to make dreams come true ... that's the hard part. |

When bread is what we miss, we stand in despair ... and still so many do not even get near the crumbs. Thank you for shaking our consciousness with this very touching, beautiful write. Love, Margherita |
