It must be a sign to let a dream be when obstacles rise like waves in the sea or like a weed in the garden of hope evading my grasp like soggy bath soap. There’s a bend in the knees concurrently with the droop and sag of critical need and weightless the soul that folds within the shell of impermanent aged old skin. “Fine and okay” say the weakest of weak in bow and scrape to the determined sea but the needy grope on in great pull and tug of weeds standing tall, superior, smug. It must be the strong who garden for love with delicate hands bare and ungloved but who can stand firm in the path of sea except for the free who believe in me? I am the way and the body, heart, mind, and the hope of the free given life so whosoever believeth in me can one day step out of a dream! Helen / 19 December 2006 |

Thanks, Dixie! The mind is strange sometimes and sometimes we have to write it before we can believe what it's telling us. LeeJ - Only an amazing woman like you could leave such an amazing comment and I am really and truly amazed. Thank you so very much! This is an amazing festive season for me so far but there still remains one last gap to be closed in the circle of my life - complete closure would be the most amazing thing ever! Let's drink to "amazing" shall we! |
