Hi Everyone,
I thought it was appropriate to put my good-bye to the forum on this thread. I've come to recognize that I have to put all my focus on the endeavors I'd planned a year ago and it would be difficult if I do not dis-engage.
It's like a death really and I have tears as I write this right now. I will miss you all so much. You've been my friends and family for the last seven months.....something to look forward to each day especially in the lonely times.......which is feeling rather profound right now.
So, I'll be at my dining table writing long hand instead of at my computer because that's the way I started long ago, and sifting through the past. I can only pray for a metamorphose.
Kim, I can't tell you how much I respect and appreciate you and all the learning you've afforded me. Your broadmindedness and seeking to uplift and empower is to me the true hallmark of a teacher. And Jamma, you'll always be dear to my heart. Thank you each and every one for your sharing and open heartedness. Luna, sweetness, good luck. My prayers are with all.
I leave with excerpts to a song that remind me of an expanded feeling of standing on top of the Eiffel Tower holding my Granddaughter on a magnificently clear, crisp day, still holding fast to dreams........
Glittering Prize Shine On, Shine the Light on me,
In all of my Life so that much more I see
In the Light of his Love
In the Light of reflection
Oh what a world
Eyes in the skies
In that silver gift friendship
A Glittering Prize
Is it the prize of lost loves
They can remember quiet sides of midnight
Like a Glittering Prize
I saw You up on a clear day
First taking hearts
Then our last breath away
Always on a clear day
Crashing into our lives
Is it the Price of Love
Like a Glittering Prize
With Your love
Only on a clear day
Simple Minds
