Surrender to sage.

Turn the page without regrets.

Bleed the moment dry.

So many times, when you write, I see again the joy and wisdom of where I would like to be.
This is excellent!

While thanking you for that, I must say I wish upon no one, the pain and agony my heart has been struggling with the past few days. But reading from several Zen Buddhists and just plain wise people, has helped me. Plus, I have a co-worker, Barbara, who is the most amazing listener and with her help, I have made it through three consecutive work shifts without collapsing emotionally or physically.
Thanking you, for your words that help strengthen my resolve to move forward quickly.

This is a 1derful write!
You do well under pressure. I just wish it was not there.

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Sometimes I don't think I can turn the page at all.  I like this one, it's distilled.

Kacy,
Here's an offer of love and support for the hard times. And to knowing that writing helps. Well said, peace sister, peace.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
