Yet even as the fingers cling to
the ash of our delusions -

We know.

Only this...the ash is not the
fire.

And as we face the wind that gathers
holy to the night -

We know.

Only this...the kiss of air on
empty hands.

Perhaps...this is all we need
to know -

Only this.

If all of us could know
only that.

Beautiful!

You know Eric once in awhile i guess we have some of the same thoughts of life.

Somehow i really dont know if i shal say hang in there, or get the hell out smile.

But i guess we all make the decissions on how we act in life smile.

So go with the  heart.

Dearest...

All I need to know is that you are magical and wondrous...an inspiration and a friend...a singer of love songs to our soul and teller of Truths from your center. Only this...but, it is enough.  Thank you.

Love and Light...jc

This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.

Only this...the ash is not the
fire.

But it does come from the fire.....this is WONDERFUL!

This morning there’s a calm
I can’t explain-
By the time I recognize this
moment it will be gone  
I will bend light
pretending it lingers on

This speaks to me Eric.

I found there lives within me,
    an invincible summer.

I love you. Margherita
