Nothing Certain |

It comes again that feeling when nothing is wrong yet nothing is right, and it feels as though tomorrow is just a dream waiting to happen because nothing~ nothing is certain and life is just a journey traveled in hopes of someday reaching a final destination. ~A destination unknown~ Trying to get there by learning from the past and knowing that sometimes lifes lessons can be hard learned making me timid not because your love is less but because of that which is held so deep inside, and no matter how many doors are unlocked I never seem to find the right one to open to step through. Barriers remain hidden behind closed doors and I wait for that moment when the walls come crumbling down letting the light shine on a day perhaps feeling less timid and more certain in a world where there is nothing certain If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

Donna...such an honest heart-felt write. I have no words at the moment... I am speechless. ~Heart-hugs~ ~ Time has cast a spell on you |

You have so eloquently put to paper, that which many of us feel from time to time. I refer to it as my "bardo" state---where I'm in between two worlds--two states of being. It may be a necessary place for us to go once in a while---sort of a walking meditation. A time for reflection and going within. When I leave that place, it is usually into the side of the light---filled with sunshine and positive thoughts. I become pro-active and continue to move forward in life. Thank you for expressing what I have felt on occasion. May sunshine fill your day (I give our "Sunshine" a lot of plugs! Teehee! Linda |

First, to Earth Angel...thanks for the plug. Enjoyed that particular response... Secondly, Donna. I doubt that it would occur to you that there are times you write so intimately a feeling that the reader says "she's been peeking into my life." While you may have written this for yourself, or of yourself, it seems, overall, selfless. It is a message that anyone, possibly all people, at one time or another, could say "this is me." You have touched a heartstring here, and I would hazard a guess that this will not be the last time you do so with your gentle touch, indeed, your most Gentle Spirit.... |

(smiles) Oh Donna, this is beautiful, I love it, may those walls be knocked town and all the uncertainty replaced with joy and satisfaction! (kiss on cheek) This is marvelous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

The only certainty is death, Donna...a good reason to embrace each day with life |

Indeed nothing is certain. What Balladeer said and more... Honest and open writing. |

Bless you all love and peace Donna If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... |
