now I lay me down to sleep I pray my soul to cease to weep wrap me in your arms of care please keep me safe from the monsters there . . . that wait just outside the edge help me know, please give me faith protect me from my mind made wraiths take from me these weighted thoughts I pray for peace from dubious plots . . . that linger just outside the edge all I ask is for the light to comfort my soul throughout this night that in your love, I may find some rest from mental anguish and worrisome fret that circle me there – just outside the edge s.a.t. If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

Beautifully pleading soul! Dear Susan, the inner light never fades, it just wants to be called forth. And I think you will receive what you need, after you uttered these heartfelt beautiful and touching words. Love, Margherita  |

God hears you, Susan. ~ Can you hear Him? Sometimes His whisper is so soft that it is barely audible ~ but He's listening. I hope all will soon be well in your corner of the world, Sparkles. You truly do have the soul of a poet ~ and its pleading was very moving. Linda |

Linda - ah, such a deep question - I do know that there is something beyond this - I used to believe I knew what/who that was - but now? Hmmmmmmmmm - very deep question - Suthern - yes - seems to be a great deal of sorrow in this world. That's was makes me think that perhaps the tibetin monks have something in their belief that we are meant to progress by overcoming sorrow and finding true happiness-goodness - Hugs to you both - thanks for your kindness S If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |
