Please delete that final tag! If Abba is good enough for Jesus on the cross, it better be good enough for anybody, and certainly is for me!!!
Now here's a marvellous occurance: Had you noticed that EVERY SINGLE STANZA has a conical* shape to it, broad at the base, narrow at the top--was this by design, or was it a fortuitous fluke? Pointing from the Many to the Rarified, from the Base to the Heights? And are the groupings of three stanzas, three times referent to your three deaths? Ellen, yours is the most magnificent Gift, and I covet it greatly! You can take the Truths Celestial, Unapproachable, Incomprehensible, and bring them home to we who need them in terms Earthly, Welcoming and Personal. Too frequently, I do the opposite, taking the plain and Ivorytowerizing it to death., How glad am I that our paths have crossed! *o.k., trapezoidal, PICKY! lmao!

This is beautiful, sweet, and delicate...
Very inspiring.. We learn through our suffering .... God bless you lovely ... ;) Posted 13 Years Ago |
One of my favorite parts of the Catholic mass and the Lutheran service is when they say, "Christ be with you" and "And, also, with you." You have spoken, beautifully, of the feeling of knowing that you are among God's children and of the wonderful healing power of faith, which comes to us all with the price of servitude to God. I think that when we concentrate on giving to others, we begin to forget our own pain a bit or at least it is eased. I think this poem would be a comfort to others, who believe or are looking for a place to lay their burdens down and have not, as yet, found it.

For any and all who need comforting and spiritual support, Ellen, this would be such a gift. Your words always are quite beautiful, this is more than that, it's near indescribable because you talk with the experience of a woman who's been at the place and returned.
