Hail Mary, full of grace welcome me home again welcome me back back to where my heart knew its first beat back to where my soul heard its first song back to you to the place where being and time flow together in Eternity's ocean a place that I've set sail for again wind at the ready and waves calm and gentle carrying me back to myself and foward to itself the Lord is with thee it's been a while, but I still remember sitting at your feet standing at your side learning the steps "the dance of life" you called it and, I wondered why I really had to be alive when being what I was was infinitely better the calling touched me for the first time and I slept, dreaming of what was not knowing what was to be then, I awoke alive blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus born into life from being, I became clothed in the fabric of life, I found questions threads of thought to be pulled and spun until, at the end, I would find (quite simply) another end never knowing (then) that all I really had to do was tie the two ends together the question answered the answer questioned but yet, still hearing the trumpet call out the unanswered question I waited with the player until the echo stopped and listened Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. *BONG* *BONG* *BONG* the answering knell sang out over the hills *BONG*death is not the end *BONG*life is not the beginning *BONG*being is eternal fly with the wind swim with the water walk with the ground weep not for what you think you have lost weep for what you have not yet found the dreaming shows the way come take my hand ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

"*BONG* *BONG* *BONG* the answering knell sang out over the hills *BONG*death is not the end *BONG*life is not the beginning *BONG*being is eternal"   (smiles) YES, YES!!! Oh Sven, you are so very wise in your words, sweet friend, every end only leads to a new beginning for it is the tapestry of eternal promise and every new life is a thread attached to it! (big hugggssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sven, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
