I wrote poetry of innocence, inspired by fairies and happy ever after, moons with halos circling the stars. I wrote a child’s memories of good shining out among memories of bad, love prevailing in hardship. Now, I hurl all that against a heart of stone, smashing stories into smithereens, exposing the inner core of lies. Fairy tales of happy ever after merely inspire a bitter smile as ripped Golden Book pages fall like leaves now dead. Do not tell me of unknown reasons. Everything does not have a reason; we say that to find hope from injustice. Platitudes rain like snow drops drifting in the face of unreasonable cruelty and I no longer believe in reasons. ...

RDB, I wrote this in tears. He found out today that the cancer is in his liver. I really do rely on your hugs and love. Thank you - I know this is not about 'me'. It just hurts so damned bad. xoxox Ali ------ Dear Seoulair, Yes, you are right. It's frustrating - and I feel so hopeless and helpless to offer him anything. Thank you, dear one. Alison ------- Tammy<333, I feel your hug right now. Thank you - and thank you for sharing your beautiful son with us. Hugs back to you, Ali |

quote: ((((Alison)))) You speak words to which multitudes can relate, yet we all need a bath in happy waters every now and then, to recover from all the hardship of this valley of tears, for which we have not yet found a solution. Every 3,6 seconds a child dies of hunger!! It's enough to stop our laughters for the rest of our lives ... we all need to awaken to love, put aside the weapons to destroy each other and bring more pain. The money wasted in wars should be used for scientific research to find solutions for all the tremendous illnesses that keep killing us and solutions for all the enormous amount of injustices perpetrated in this world. May Universal healing energies flood your heart and your friend Cane's heart. I love you. Margherita  |

Alison, This is very good writing. The line: "Everything does not have a reason;" is worth the read. Bobby |
