Thanksgiving
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
My soul laid bare ..tread lightly, please ;>
This is where I plan to bare my soul for all the world to see - warts and all. I plan on letting it all hang out here, so to speak, not knowing exactly what direction it may take, but I hope you're along for the ride. If you are, you'll be respected and valued here for your poetic sensibilities. We can explore the content of our hearts and intricate workings of our minds, together. But above all else, I declare this place a safe haven from the slings and arrows of life that may be bent on foisting themselves in our general direction, seeking to strip all heart-felt and pithy profundities from our poetic souls. Mercy! Do I hear an Amen?! :>

I am... Emily Dickinson Do you have a 19th century sensibility? Or are you an intellectual? Do you write a lot? Because it seems like you have a lot in common with classic American poet, Emily Dickinson. Read more... Which poet are you? |

How wonderful it is to see you writing again.
Adore the concept that /love/is the /mother
lode of emotions/ OH yes, love, love, love,
love is all there is–as the Beatles sang.
Regardless of our personal tragedies and
health issues, it is love, from our loved ones,
to them, and from God, from the star capillaries
of the universe filling your bedroom with white
light, that pulls us through, that sustains us.
Bless you, and bless your heart.

Thank you so much, Glenn. I’m taking one step at a time, here, hoping I can return full-time to my blog/writing. It gives sustenance to my soul. I receive and enjoy the friendship of so many wonderful poets and people, such as yourself, one who I treasure and adore! Plus, I love the very essence of your blog! xox
