The Rabbi walked

amidst the crowd

it's written he asked

"who touched me?"

Someone from behind in plea

dared to touch his gown.


Someone walked behind me too

Someone placed a hand on me

and I felt myself receive

a life

in spite of me...

Although this has little to do..

Before I read this, I was discussing in my head

the word "spite"..

Oh, and I love the poem.

The Rabbi then said:
"Daughter, your faith
has healed you"

and similarly you
may say:
"In spite of me and
in spite of you,
this life is
a blessing".


Touched ...

Love, Margherita

Sometimes it seems those of us who need it most have a slight resistance to  touch....
An attempt to do it alone?... A touch of misplaced independence?... Questions, unasked go unanswered.. And still we seek... best to you, marty jo

Read this early this morning...

off and on throughout the day...

I think I would enjoy

an invisible someone

tugging at my skirts...

Somehow, we do receive the touch we need, don't we?
Excellent!

There are those who seek life and find it, but how true that often life finds us unawares.

it wastes your time AND annoys the pig

gentle but powerful write!  Short, but full of meaning...I think I'll just tuck this under my arm and walk toward the library.   Great to read your writing again, serenity.
