To know in part is but the child in outward look from heart undisturbed and unconcerned with what the people say and this the pendulum un-swayed by criticism. But come the day, the moment, of childish thoughts aside and I swing the pendulum left/right, left/right, left/right, as if the corners hold what needs to come out. A touch here, a touch there, but the down after a climb leaves freedom’s gain removed to a prison of neglect. Swing, swing, wide and wider still; ‘tis just the usual commonplace in constant motion to the far away apart from the truth of heart! Helen / 19 July 2007 |

"A touch here, a touch there, but the down after a climb leaves freedom’s gain removed to a prison of neglect." ~ Oh, Honey, this aches. May a new pendulum swing to and fro from the heavenly to the divine. Giving you a warm embrace, Linda |
