Weight Of Worth |

The heart is where emotion and need mix with desire in equal measure to obtain balance of self in some sort of symmetry while distributing each facet separately to be maintained in it's own space and place in time until rocky roads lead to polished surfaces where each part can be divided with certainty not either to the left or right but to where need falls the greatest to support the weight of life. ~~~ Pristine thoughts are sustained gaining strength to carry on the continual struggle for balance while maintaining secure foothold and sensitivity of the heart. ~~~ Worth of heart cannot be summarized in measure, nor can value be placed upon it for how can a heart be defined in numerical systems…. It is to refined to be constricted by mere dollar amount... ~~~ It is not in how one carries the load~ Hearts of gold are measured by the compassion that they show... priceless. {thank you Suzie, for the inspire m'friend. } |

Well, the weight of words in THIS blew me away the first time I read it and seeing it standing alone, in itself, IS priceless. This is tight and precise and melts down the page. Beautiful, Donna. |

and this and you are priceless Pristine thoughts are sustained gaining strength to carry on the continual struggle for balance while maintaining secure foothold and sensitivity of the heart. AMEN sweetie, the conditioning of mind to think of only good, to bring treasures of smiles to others... brings two fold in return loved this |

Worth of heart cannot be summarized in measure, nor can value be placed upon it Even before I got to the end, I was thinking... priceless ... your poem as well as the hearts it speaks of. *S* |

My deepest appreciation and thanks to you all for you kind words! I enjoyed writing this particular piece so very much. You are all, way to kind with your replies. I had wonderful inspiration for it, thank you Suzie, for that inspiration, and I must share that with everyone else here (no arguing with me though...YES I did have to....) so that they can see just WHY I was so inspired to write this. /pip/Forum93/HTML/003901.html [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (12-16-2005 02:10 PM).] |

Donna "It is not in how one carries the load~ Hearts of gold are measured by the compassion that they show..." You're so right! And on my scale, yours measures very heigh! |

This is a treasure! (I thought I had replied to this, but sometimes the end of my pay-as-you-go telephone voucher cuts me off, and perhaps that is what happened with this one.) - Owl |

Gentle Spirited One, your balanced heart has equal measures of love and spirit. You, m'dear, are "priceless". "until rocky roads lead to polished surfaces" ~ Your rocky roads have not only defined you, ~ they have refined you! Your strength, wisdom, and beauty shine through your illustrious words. Love & Spirit Light, Linda |

Bella, you know how much your words mean to me. Yer beautiful babe, much love to you. Raph, thats a good word for it, lightweights... never quite thought of it that way, but it sure does fit. Thanks babe, your a sweetie. oh geesh Linda, now you are making me blush, but I thank you and love you for such a generous comment. Thanks to each of you, ya'll are truly wonderful. If the world was full of pipsters, it would be a much more beautiful place. seek the flame within yourself and let your soul be cleansed by the fire of love. Axel Ekenstierna |
