I AM HERE
Current mood: touched
from my myspace blog
TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE ONE KINDNESS AT A TIME. I know this...have been told by so many and by God....this is my calling. I stretch myself to the edges of the world with my words and in my deeds. Someone once called me "earth mother"... (thank you, MikeC)and I really thought about it. I even wrote about it and, for the life of me, I can't find it!!! Ah, well...anyway, it somehow fits. Child of God, mother and kin to all. heh...I'm being too philosophical today, I think.
*sigh* I don't know. There is just something about today that has been weighing heavy and yet I feel somewhat freed. I'm sure that doesn't make any sense at all, but the words have been uttered, so to speak, and they cannot be retracted. The mode of life is just as hazy as ever, but so many bits of clarity have been gained. Wow...maybe I'm finally beginning to grow up! Geez, I hope not!
Also, I wrote this for Nova on the day of his funeral. I check on Erin everyday still. It's on my daily list of to-do's and I don't think that'll ever change. Anyway, I never posted it. It seems so unfinished, but, when I read it, completely appropriate. *sigh* Strange day today. So many mixed up emotions...to many highs and lows...but, anyway, here it is.
The Welcoming
The earth welcomes him
there
amidst the shadows
where the sunlight streams
between the willow branches
the air, calm-not-at-all
like the pounding of my heart
We do not mourn him
He is free
We mourn ourselves
and what we may become without
him

That's beautiful Mary! I'm sure Erin's going to love it too.
*hugs*
Thanks Eve. I hope so. It's how I felt
It is beautiful Mary. I don't know if I'm ready to admit that I don't mourne for him but for myself, even though I do know it's true... but it's beautiful, and very appropriate... there are willows all around the pond in the cemetery where they're buried..
Mmm, This is a beautiful piece. Thanks for the words on encouragement on my site. It helped more than you know....

*hug* Erin, I could picture it so well in my mind. You spoke of it so lovingly and longingly, I felt as if I really were there with you. I'm glad you like it. And, you don't have to admit to anything until you're ready.
Kriss, :-) You are very welcome. I'm glad I could help in some small way. You know, I'm here too, if you ever need to vent. Keenan can be a pain in the arse some times, be he can't help it. HE'S A MAN! LOL...don't lose your voice. It's a tough battle to find it!
Love you guys.
You are exactly who I thought you were.
:0) Why thank you!
Very nice! You are a fine lady.

Thank you for your kindness.
