Humble, these Findings When will it settle in, this new? Some day far from now, perhaps, as when I was a bride, and it didn’t settle in, until the births, which didn’t settle in, until I was divorced; which didn’t settle in, until I was remarried, which didn’t settle in, until the personal deaths began. I lost folk before then, but it was different, these knowings… Life…life is like this, some times this holding of breath, this beating of a heart in hands, someone keeping these dreams alive, someone trusting in my mind more than I trust myself. Some one special one asked what does it feel like? The feeling of this new birth, from an old love, some one thought that had planted its seed long, long ago, to finally find its own birth, to realize its own dream in the skies of eyes that skimmed the horizon such as I…. a kindred of nature alone, it was then the pause began, to find somewhere deep, a reply to be understood…. it hasn’t settled in, yet. When it does, only I will know what loss it might have brought, for that is the way it is. ~*~ © Karilea Rilling Jungel January 29, 2006 |

Sissie "When it does, only I will know what loss it might have brought, for that is the way it is." And when it does you will write a poem about it....for that is the way you are!  |

In the morning, hung over and sworn-off Haaker Pshorr Weiss for life.....but ooh-baby-come-October, we'll only remember that Oom-Pah band! So....come October, when it settles in (whenever October may be for this), I want to see that poem too! Believe? Oh yes, you bet -- it's always October for that. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |

Mellon Collie to be sure, but it ain't no dog of a poem. It sort of touches us all don't it? So just how many shoes will fall in a lifetime? |

Ah the price of wisdom - much pain. I'm sure I have only begun to learn. And you, well how delightful is your sharing of your learning. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

Awwwww. Yes, it does take time, but perhaps it never settles in, truly... But I suppose we may never so I say take life one day at a time, eh? Nice write. Kristabell |

Life and transitions--always confusing. I think that it was Thomas Merton who said, "Life is a mystery to be lived, not a problem to be solved." I badly needed that bit of insight when I came across it. It is one of my favorite quotes. It seems that there are always more questions than answers and I am so aware of the answers coming...much, much later, with slowly growing, knowing clarity. You have said it so well. Made me think. Love You Much! Shenachie |

You just crept into my head and yanked out my heart because oh man, do I know this and am keeping it because it reads like a life prayer to me, Kari. No, we never know at the time, do we? That will always puzzle me. |

It does humble one, doesn't it? *S* This is excellent, Sunshiney One... In reading the responses, I see how it's touched so many... we choose different passages... but we all walk away glad we stopped to read... |

And now that it has settled in and we understand it is too late. This is a thought provoking piece of genius. Joyce |

When I was browsing, I was again drawn to this. Seems you write my heart sometimes... to finally find its own birth, to realize its own dream misc'e |

Sunshine, this is what I needed to read today. It speaks to me. Your courage to face your life changing events is an inspiration. May they all settle gently in. :-) [This message has been edited by StevenS (04-09-2006 09:37 AM).] |

You write with such clarity and wisdom...it all makes perfect sense If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried. |
