Shattered dreams |

I dreamt in the days before love took form and proceeded to break and shatter them all and they litter the floor still awaiting a bend in acknowledgement of the now state of them. Tomorrow perhaps when the body undone from the bone and muscle that keeps it upright the pieces that lie at the base of a life will be as dust discarded and gone. And then, and then, no need to bend and a woman, a man, can know of no trial that forced them to kneel and sweep to the side the broken and shattered dreams of the time. They lie silent and seemingly dead to the turn of one who now knows to overstep love but always a step too large for the frame can topple a steadfast and steady resolve. Knowing that, knowing that, it’s like I can be a bubble that floats ever nonchalantly above the now shattered and spent many, so many, remembered dreams. But bubbles … oh, damn, they’re so very fragile and don’t know how to align themselves with steel inlaid concreted balls that roll over love as if not even there. And the drawing board calls to creative endeavour but I know I’m the board, the creative, and all that ensures safe passage over shattered dreams! Helen / 8 November 2008 |

Oh, dear Helen, you write so well, but you need to dream on ... no need to put the shattered dreams together and mend them, there are NEW ones you can create RIGHT NOW. Let go, break out of the fragile bubbles and breathe in the now, stronger than ever. I know that you know how you do that. Love and hugs. Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Thanks, dear Margherita. Yes, I know how and I am doing it but it's my birthday today and there's a sadness (amongst the joy) for all that could have been but wasn't. We soldier on nevertheless but I think rather to "party" on tonight at least for me. Lots of love Helen |

Oh, yes, dear Helen, do enjoy your birthday and celebrate the beauty of you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HELEN! You know I have quite a few Scorpio friends and now I know that this is a further reason why I feel so close to you. May divine blessings shower you abundantly today and always. Make it a new start, detach from the past pains and step into new territory of infinite possibilities. Listen to your favorite music and let sadness dissolve! Love and hugs.

Oh, yes, dear Margherita, Scorpios are ... um ... wonderful - a bit intense but wonderful nevertheless! Thanks so much for your wishes. My new year has started off very well but still there are corners and bends that I wish I had taken or had been taken around. Next lifetime perhaps - Helen |

Inkedgoddess - thank you. Yes, we're all bubbles destined to be erased sooner or later and perhaps too of love. It doesn't pay, I guess, to take anything too seriously because, as they say, this too shall pass. Love Helen |

Nope, no dancing but the music certainly moved me. Lots of things move me and yet I'm still here doing what I do ... like writing stories. Helen |

Thank you so much, AC! I know my wishes will come true. It may take a million years but they do say that time is an illusion. Helen |
