Reflecting Pools Of Woman ~*Marge Tindal*~ There is a place where woman goes in quiet reflecting pools of her spirit No one follows ... for they cannot touch her there ... It is a place of gentle retreat where woman seeks nourishment for her soul~ It is the necessary place The pooling of all that is right or wrong in her life~ Looking in ...... gives her the fortitude to look outward at the surround of her life She sighs ... and takes a drink of it all~ When she returns ... the circling of her love gathers those who most need to sip of the nectar of her quenching~ She will tend the needs of others ... until once more she thirsts~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

When you sent this to me, I couldn't see the picture. You know the game we play with pictures. It matches the words perfectly. I shared this with all the women in my address book! It is so beyond special. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |

You write of a place which only a woman would know of and understand... I do understand this need and I feel you have that place you write so beautifully of... |

Margie girl darling sister of my heart Oh my word this is utterly utterly wonderful it flows fluidly over my mind like a clear stream of liquid wonder. Mmmmmm you darling heart are a marvellous writer of truth and light. YOU know I love this, since you never inscribe anything that I don’t utterly love. This again is utterly utterly wonderful, again the perfect penning of my favourite caller of hearts sigh and soul’s thought. Exquisite darling girl utterly utterly exquisite I’ve printed this out, using the last of my ink, Emma was here earlier and seems to have done a huge printing job since I was down to the dregs. Anyway I’ve printed this out and placed it on the wall so that when Krissy and Emma are here again, in Krissy’s case that should be tomorrow, they will see it in its glory. Absolutely wonderful writing darling Margie girl truly one of your best Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

And it is when she loses sight of her place that she loses the strength to rise again... I know... I've misplaced mine before. *S* This is so beautiful, Marge... it reflects the beauty of its author. *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (06-21-2002 10:18 AM).] |

And in the 'reflecting' ... I find the strength to tend ... not only to the needs of others ... but to my own needs as well~ All you sisters ... drink of the nectar ... refresh your spirit~ *Huglets* ~*Sister Me*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |
