* * * From wikipedia-- "A prayer wheel is a 'wheel' (Tibetan: 'khor) on a spindle made from metal, wood, leather, or even coarse cotton. On the wheel are depicted or encapsulated prayers, mantras and symbols such as the Ashtamangala. According to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, spinning such a wheel will have much the same effect as orally reciting the prayers." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prayer_wheel * * * * I find the eye they call the third palms together trinity and then I concentrate on Truth palms together please hear me I'll save a third of me for you palms together: spare her hurt I know that I know nothing but palms apart but just slightly Energy perpetuates "Palms were laid" upon His path I pray to her God on this night: palms in prayer for our behalf "She has more to give" I plead palm-to-palm O' hear me please This is not her home, I know I bow my head, humility. But she has many miles to go palms together Unity Let her linger on with us spare her pain - and keep the trust fingered palms are quivering Renew her as a quickening! A single candle is a light palms together cannot fight Hear my pleas, considering the faith, the love, her fortitude-- she is,we are, a part of You: palms together servitude. Hear me, hear me as I pray Lend her stength and let her stay to live her life Apostleship I light the candle pray or wish that I have been heard this night: palms together very still knowing that she'll do your will-- do not call her home just yet Mercy on us all I beg: I nod to my four corners, "yes". Palms apart in encompass of creation, gratitude. I humbly ask that you renew our friend your servant of Eden. palms together nod "Amen." * * * * Smile. I know my post might confuse many people. As my friendship with Marge grew, since she and I are both very forthright people, I told her our renewed friendship would indeed confuse many. Her response was very simple: "It's nobody's business." And this is why I love her so, and I ask you to join me in prayers, either here, in poetry, or in whatever way you find comfortable. Because Marge understands this, and she and I agree that God, in infinite wisdom, makes people, communicates, and appears in forms that they can understand-- A personal relationship with God is personal. And I sincerely hope I got part of that wrong--because I would love for Marge to pop in and correct me. (gleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee) Share the love? I know you will. Peace and prayers. * * * * * * Be well Marge. |

I have never doubted the heart of Marge, nor the integrity of our own serenity. This is a beautiful wheel of tribute to the both of you - although you, K, won't see it that way. When, truthfully, relationships of man, woman, woman, man, man, etc., are questioned, without actual knowledge of anyone's reason to befriend anyone else... then the world really is off its axis. Thank the powers that be that we have Ron's world, where we can come together, be friends, or more, or less, and still function as a "town*" of understanding individuals who believe we are here for one main compassion: Poetry. ~*~ *I was going to say "village" but that's been overused by the politicos. Knowing that both of you are blessed...I not only salute you, I love you. |

I hardly feel capable of words, Karen...yours are so strong that I believe they could even turn the world. Circles though, depend on joining and I join hands and heart, with love and admiration for you and the gift you give so freely here to Marge. |

I'm so happy ya'll are joining me with this--Marge's acceptance of me and my religion, unquestionably, helped me to understand and re-assess Christianity. I like to think that we share a spiritual connection. *smile* So we take joy in our similarities and celebrate our differencs! And Marge? If you're peeking in? fierce comanche chest thumping Love you! Rest and be well. |

Sometimes sitting in silence is painful... sometimes sitting in silence is to hear what is said softer than a breath... And sometimes, silence is borne of awe... The beauty and caring of this strips me of words, but oh... the heart speaks And it prays too |
