When the flow of what is meant to be comes up against a wall it stands there quite bemused for at least a million years. It studies every straight and curve, every crack, bump, hole, and split but none sufficient for a pass and it prays for transformation. Let it be as water so to seep slowly, steadily, through the seemingly impassable and reach its destination. But water? No, no, no, It's still of weight and measure and a million years turns into two while the flow thinks what to be. So after two or maybe more prayer discarded turns to slush and sullies every new attempt at change and transformation. It's just the way it goes when the flow can't see the way so for me I pray for floods to rise the flow above ~ and it does; it rises, up, up, up, and like a dream supersedes this reality!

You take on the world in all its crevasses and valleys, and you take it on quite wonderfully. |

You have such an ability to render philosophical questions poetically, dear Helen. What do we know what is meant to be? And what is real? Welcome dreams! They are better than medicine. Top write. Love, Margherita |

Thank you, dear Bluesy. There are always undercurrents, aren't there. Margherita - Oh, I just ramble but when it comes to knowing what was meant to be I think I have a pretty accurate take on that - probably accounts for a lot of what I write. Dreams? Yes, there are dreams and then there are "things" that I call dreams and in my experience there's a big difference between the two. That's as clear as mud. Love to you both and best wishes for a very happy festive season. Helen |

Hello Helen....As I read this I thought of something fluid, rising and finally spilling over the top...it would seem in a more spacial spirit sense, it did.  |

Good morning Helen, had your tea yet? My my that last verse sure caps off your meaning well. Please don't tell those with heavy property insurance how those flood prayers go, or all of our rates will go up!! Beautiful little philosophical gem. Thanks for sharing. Eric |
