The future isn’t mine to see but I can think how I would be given a scenario of two in love entwined and this I hold as a backstop to the truth of love not here. But a backstop must disintegrate and be as if it never was to enable a withdrawal from the soul of love and not stand upon the pendulum a speaker of what surely is a deep-seated fantasy. I raise my hands; what can I do but leave the words for all to know I once upon a time ago thought to think of love. I think to think to not now think for thoughts can’t hold my hand or still this woman’s restless mind that travels in her sleep to a future that’s not mine to see, to know, to feel. I leave the words and take the leave due all who need to be undone from all thoughts of love! Helen / 29 September 2008 (A leave of absence from “whatever” usually brings in another perspective – let’s wait and see.) |

Sleep on your left side with your right foot higher than your heart. Listen to your dreams. Talk about new perspectives. OHHH yehh. Looking forward to your new writes. The answer is always NO, Until the question is asked. |

Tracey - I'm leaving with a smile thanks to you. My son left one of his earplugs at my home (he's a musician) and he told me to use it when I sleep. Whew - left side down, right side up, and which side for the earplug? Oh, and I wouldn't mind "listening" to my dreams but it's the "feeling" of them that puts me off balance. I've no doubt, however, that I'll be back. Nothing keeps a storyteller down - not even the dreams but I need to catch my breath ... and that's another thing - deep breathing is like a vehicle that shoots the mind into another land. Nothing for it but to stop breathing! Thanks for the read. Helen |

Dear Helen, you yourself are LOVE, love isn't something separated from you. It is your essence. It is not in the future or in the past, it is NOW. You are so to say a "product of love". You lack no ingredients of love, you only lack the awareness of being love. Breathe, beautiful poetess, breathe and be conscious of breathing ... earplugs are irrelevant to the perception of love ... bring peace to your hyperactive mind and breathe. Breathe life, breathe love. Love and hugs. Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |
