![]() Pond with swans and duck by Melissa Egan *** At the pond of love *** In silence I sit at the pond watching the swans glide by. My eyes take in all the beauty, while I open my heart to Your touch of love. My reflection dances quietly on the surface of the water. As the breeze designs ripples my image breaks into fragments. Tiny patches of color transform into hints to the story of mankind. Each little drop of water reflects a piece of what has been and I make no resistance as my brain absorbs the images of events occurred since forever. When I feel heavy with all the sorrow of the world, I fear to sink deep down into channels of oblivion. But a sharp beam of light suddenly hits the water. The reverberating sun blinds me with its sparkling brilliance. The golden light penetrates my every single cell, my heart and my soul. All weariness is washed away And I know it’s not too late to start anew each day to spread love to touch all the hearts traveling this world in search of warmth. I am renewed in my hope, I am restored to wholeness when I recognize my own reflection dancing within the sparkling light, of Love Divine … and unperturbed, like the swans I continue to glide upon the serene waters of this life in constant motion. At the pond of love we sit and hold hands knowing that the Light travels fast and brightens our darkest nights. *** |

Some days I feel I've wandered too deep into the jungle to ever know if the light was truly real - it's nice to read the faith of another - Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

I am renewed in my hope, I am restored to wholeness ~*~ You may not post often, but when you do? You leave imagination in your wake... This was a remarkable ripple, lady... I still have a lot to learn from you. |

Margherita, I wonder if it might be possible for me to use this painting picture of Ms. Egan's and how I might contact her for permission or if it is necessary? I want to use it for a personal email message only. Thanks. Jo |

Thank you Tommy, James, Ethel and Donna for your loving comments. Sitting by the pond makes meditation easy and if we don't have one near, we still can imagine it ... I grew up at a lake and I love to sit by the water. Love, Margherita ![]() |
