Fathoms deep beneath the sea of all there is to feel before the rising up again into this way of life that keeps a body floating and drifting with the flow away from the shimmer of love’s great birthing time. It was there in the depths that I held a little child and gave from my heart the food to make it grow before it shot unaided up to surface expectations and bobbed like a cork on the highs and lows. The high was love inside that never questioned why and low the slow infusion of life’s artful ways through the muscle and the bone of pure innocence until the feeling part dead as a coffin nail. Dead, dead, the heart is dead when broken by the times and washed up to the shore in pieces here and there and the human race confined to half they’re meant to be walks the earth like robots programmed not to care. Then come the birth on land of another little child and not a ‘yes’ but ‘why’ bobs on the living tide. Helen / 31 December 2005 |

Helen? what insight you possess . . . Dead, dead, the heart is dead when broken by the times and washed up to the shore in pieces here and there and the human race confined to half they’re meant to be walks the earth like robots programmed not to care. and yet you see the light . . . |

Thanks, Jo, and "happy happies" to you too! I guess we'd be surprised at just how many carry us home. |

Thank you, my friend. Today is our last day of 2005. I have a long list for 2006 to attend to so I've decided to start happy in order to end happy. Cheers! |

Helen "Dead, dead, the heart is dead when broken by the times and washed up to the shore in pieces here and there and the human race confined to half they’re meant to be walks the earth like robots programmed not to care." You care, and I do too....and I know there are others...maybe we should hold hands and dance? Happy New Year! |
