The Middle, Chapter II [inspired by Sven] I saw her on the Nile her beauty foretold her reign in gold… my death was unnoticed my arrival was unnoticed… I was there I watched Him walk before the world knew what He would do… my death was better my arrival was unnoticed… I suffered mightily for the Peace that wouldn’t come King’s Lords over rode I was overcome… my death now searched at the place of this birth… I spoke to Napoleon before Josephine arrived he was so alive his passions wouldn’t survive… of a passing no record my life of little worth… only woman, only husband to listen to the hoof beats to run from tyranny to explore new lands…retreat… we found a new world She had a light in her hand… I tilled ground fought for the right to live beside the red American who held my babe… you can still see my cross over my grave… today I wonder when all things foreign seem right deep in night’s night in the absence of light When did I begin? When will I really end… 27 June 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

Amazing yet again!! Shows that sometimes we were just players in history. . .and that at other times, we may have made history. . . Does this speak to the fact that perhaps we are a spirit that fills a new body for each life? In other words, when my body dies, does my spirit seek another body to fill? Another life to lead? Does the spirit still live? And if so, why do we not take the memories of our past lives with us? I'll ask those questions in Feelings. . . please discuss amongst yourselves!! ------------------------------------------------------------ That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Karilea~ You've searched and walked among the spirits of the past - I'm certainly not surprised to find that we 'walked together' in the past ..... you've known it too .... 'I tilled ground fought for the right to live beside the red American who held my babe…' A long time in passing - and yet all the yesterdays are brought forward into today.
