Stairs start and lengthen more from the dungeon of despair to make of every step a laboured affair. No man or beast, angelic friend, or sweetheart of the heart’s desire can lift the burden, ease the pain, or change a state of mind. But there always was and still is the self that knows no other way than up with good and down with bad until the climb turns night to day. And in the light of clarity effort begets its own reward that creeps into the psyche, see and turns a servant into lord. And so of lords both here and there they set a standard for us all and soon upon the highest stair life will be as once before! Helen / 6 November 2009 |

Great positive read, Helen. Upbeat and uplifting, with solid layout and great rhythmic progression. A good read. Namaste Jim "We are stardust: we are golden: and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden." --Joni Mitchell "Woodstock" |

Hi, Honey! Long time no see! Well, you certainly came back with a highly inspirational piece of soul writing! Loved it! My two favourite stanzas are as follows: "But there always was and still is the self that knows no other way than up with good and down with bad until the climb turns night to day. And in the light of clarity effort begets its own reward that creeps into the psyche, see and turns a servant into lord." Right on! Keep climbing those spirit stairs! Love & Light, Linda   |

Thanks so much Jim and Linda! I've been recovering from an operation but I'm hoping to be back in full swing soon. Helen |

Thank you Margherita and Kacy! All stairs including spiritual ones require ... attention to detail. Sometimes I'm good at it and sometimes bad but all part and parcel of being human. Thank you too for the birthday wishes here. I so very much appreciate them. Love Helen |
