Winter Heart! Winter blue grey,harsh and cold filled with sleet,ice,and snow,days of depression and soul sadness makes you fear a thing called madness. No light bright and cheery,each day just seems more dreary,all the things future and past float haunting there within your mind. Days run by into the night,darkness settles in your heart,no lifting comes of the funeral pall,no reaching out to shake it off acceptance settles deep inside. What use now for moving on for getting up and dusting off,ragged tattered dreams of better times drift away like patchy fog just whisps of smoke on the wind. Standing in a darkened room spirit shaken with the thoughts invading,what brings the human to this place of giving up on better days? Moving slowly from window to window seeking a peace you are never finding,separated from the whole world feeling like no one is caring. Trying so hard for understanding of your own uncaring,I have been there walked that dark path,if we tell the truth we all have,in that land that steals your mind. The only real hope seems to lie in that small ray of bright sunshine,one shared smile from a loving frind one gentle hand reaching out to help. Gift those you know facing today the loneliness that winter brings with a little time and understanding,take the time to say hello,to make that call and reach out let them know someone cares. Such a simple thing we each could do,by stepping outside our narrow view,telling them to snap out of it,get over it,grow up and deal with it,is not helping but making worse that feeling of uselessness. These are easy things to say but for the Winter Heart sometimes the impossible to do,left in helpless tears,or raging,they do not understand themselves what they are feeling. For those few who have never known such days,never faced that unclimbable mountian,who feel and show only impatience,walk a mile in their shoes before you judge them for one day before this life is over you too will face days of unexplainable sadness and silence! granny Dedicated to my beloved granddaughter,Jennifer,who is once again in hospital for cutting herself,who just can not understand or overcome the Winter Heart. My love for her is unconditional,my need to understand in even some small way,and try to help her better led me to searches. I would like to share with you as well,perhaps there is someone precious in your life who is tormented as well?

My friend, the hardiest heart of a grandmother cannot lessen the savage dispair of the youngest child's winter heart, except to continue to give sight to the fact that winter is but a mere few months, with spring, summer and fall all to live for. Three out of four months would seem to those deepest in the heart of winter a wonderfully phantasmal time... and that she is not alone. Her answer is not the answer, but it is understood. Please, let her know? That you, as her grandmother, have plenty of women surrounding you, none of which she might ever know, who fear this very thing for their very own granddaughters, and grandsons. And let her know that it is all right for her...to be a leader, against this very fear. Because, she can. |

The spirit seeking and not finding,perhaps she could help them to understand better their own hearts and live better lives. my loving thanks and many blessings
