![]() . . Release letting go of soul's gentle departure loosen the ties that had us bound unclench angry fist filled with pain and doubt free to roam with life's leash unhooked acquit self guilt and shame breathe out ... breathe in ... Release . . . Chris Barker June 2004 ~~~~~~~~ |

Wise words well written. ![]() Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

don't know what a "rictameter" is (guess I've never cared enough to find out or try one - especially if I have to think) but I do know this is wonderful and I would have like to have written it myself, yet I'm glad you did it because I could not have done it so beautifully. jwesley |
