I'm grateful to him for reminding me... I have the tools available to protect myself when I feel exposed and vulnerable to the elements of life. I may have to get creative in deciding which tools are right for which situation, and learn from experience when my choices don't provide an adequate buffer. And learn about which types of weather it's okay to experience. That I might not actually melt in the rains of grief, be carried away in the cyclone of symptoms never to be seen again, turn to dust during the long drought of loneliness, or crack and shatter after the dark and miserable winter of lost dreams. And the crevasse of despair that widens with each little earthquake in my heart may not be bottomless. If history is any indication, I'll survive when the next sudden storm comes and I don't feel prepared. And maybe I'll become more comfortable with being vulnerable. Yes, Louiee's silences are as golden as his fine fur. - TurtleBarb, March 2010 "Thank YOU For" Thank You for: giving us voice that we be heard, and feel alive, providing connection, melt isolation. That we be not deprived. Standing beside us in silence, in action, in pain and celebration on good and bad days, in learning new ways. Sharing much knowledge ammunition that opened doors, to quiet our inner wars expand our learning core. Providing a forum to comfort the forlorn Quieting Fears and shedding our tears. making us stronger each to move onward, forging new friendships share hopeful glimpses. enlisting understanding beyond measured years, your own ills unyielding you opened your ears. listening unending to each of our cries collective and private ours never deprived. Your courage and foresight to bring us these tools, your time and your passion your own golden rule but most of all thank you for giving the gift the pleasure to know you your love and your whit. for spending your time with each and with all we thank you dear elly from you did we draw. - Sand Art Got art?
