Forsaken I am for the good of it all, my cross my own consciousness, heavy tonight amidst my flight into the way of this life … and so suffers my innocence and openness to believe. But it’s done and no one suffocates under the strings of a lie … not yet because two steps behind truth waits like a snake to strike unless, unless, I grow up tonight into a mystical being able to eat of venom and enjoy like a sweet candy bar. In the grand design I am but a pawn two steps behind a fine intellect but in time a prophet will say, “It was always ordained as so” and in time I will come to know the good of it all includes me. Released from the burden of being just me and even trees grow strong underground two steps behind the bearing of fruit above the waft of heartache! Helen / 20 April 2005 |

"...I grow up tonight into a mystical being able to eat of venom and enjoy like a sweet candy bar...." Helen, I have always known you to be a mystical being. *smile* Your thoughts are cold water for sipping in a dry cold night. |

I like your style Lady, reflecting the courage and still imbued love to go on, respect of true nature, not taking it person, understanding that human nature does what it does, sometimes not knowing any better, not wanting to hurt or create storms in the lives of others, but does so...you, seem to understand that with great compassion and faith....write on! |

Thank you, Eric. Healing is an ongoing process and I've become very patient of late. |

Helen "But it’s done and no one suffocates under the strings of a lie … not yet because two steps behind truth waits like a snake to strike unless, unless, I grow up tonight into a mystical being able to eat of venom and enjoy like a sweet candy bar." I've always thought of you as a person who speaks great truth. I know I've told you before how wise I think you are...but I know you are no doubt also human...and sometimes maybe a lie creeps in. I think it will not be the end of the world, if it does. Perhaps there will be a lesson in it, as there is in all things.  Sorry for the lecture. |
