But I'm finding some small variations in the text in various places that it's posted online, and I want to make sure I know the "definitive" version that you intended. Could you perhaps send me that poem so I can be sure? Thank you for your words.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089494194568868640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927610881947456372.post-78206461161584273682021-01-17T18:39:21.998-08:002021-01-17T18:39:21.998-08:00Thank you for sharing this piece.

It is very deep and I wanted to see who you are and I came across your blog and your book.<br /> Your book sounds beautiful. I also finished one and I do understand about allowing people to read such an intimate work. Mine took about 15 to 20 years, and it sums up not only my life, but my ancestors coming to America 400 years ago.<br />I self-published on Lulu. I purchase them for $7.00 each and give to friends to read. I do not want it going out over Amazon, on Kindle. But trust me, the world needs beautiful deep things. <br />Check out Lulu, and if you need help uploading it I can help you. I live in NYC. Best regards. I would like to send you a painting I found on the internet which goes along with your poem.

I stare into the nothingness wondering where nothing went. It was never there. Can she be nothing, whom I thought was everything? Is there more there than what meets the eye only to abandon it? Why did we ever trust our eyes when they prove to be so untrustworthy? What am I not seeing, but knowing? If she is everything, where could she have possibly gone to, but everywhere?<br /><br />Why do we struggle to find joy inside? But joy adulterated with sadness, even joy in sadness are easy to find in this world. How can the corruption and the incorruptible be one? When do we learn to separate the two, discard the meaningless and rest in the Love of God? Surely there is no sadness in God. The absolute absence of sadness is the Peace that passeth understanding. As though it never existed. Love leaves no room for anything unlike itself. The fullness of the earth is the Lord's, not the emptiness. <br /><br />Em Sevolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568641118748396728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7927610881947456372.post-27861340445534024852019-01-25T09:05:44.413-08:002019-01-25T09:05:44.413-08:00YES!

I say we march when we can, we unashamedly grin and make a joke in the grocery line, we smile and say hello to everybody, even the ones we don't know. We try to make light in the darkness and we try to apply a tiny splint to every broken wing, trusting our intention will make up for our lack of skill. We hum and we occasionally break into song and then find a little giggle. We pretend and pretend until we make the world we want come into actual being once more. We ignore the lies and act as our own truthbearers. We tell the truth in kindness and in love and we politely ask the liars what is the point of the lie? We continue to search for the truth and in our own personal lives we demand nothing less. We raise our collective consciousness as human beings to the one, still benevolent, Creator Goddess to help us overthrow the darkness and once again make our world whole through compassion, integrity and finding those absolutes of truth, beauty and justice.

But that's to concentrate on the personalities and not on the issues which you reinforce so well. The vote is an opportunity to affirm what each of us believes, imperfectly but importantly.

Marie is a constant for you, eternally. I am so glad she said Goodbye with the Lark Ascending. Perfect, the music, the soul. Your description of our love for each other, of her as your soul's mother and teacher, is touching and true.
