I disco...Dear Lord... what a moment of discovery...<br />I discovered that poem in an issue of Oprah's magazine years ago. It made me weep then recognition of myself, my life, my soul. It does the same to me now. <br /><br />I cut it out of the magazine and stuck it into a book... where it stayed for the years that I lied and ignored and pretended and hid and hoped beyond hope that 'it would all end happily ever after'. It didn't. And when a 32 year marriage died and I lost my business and my home and then ended up selling off everything I owned, I found that book and the piece of old paper with the poem on it fluttered to the ground at my feet. I picked it up, read it, and placed it in a small box that I move with me from Seattle to California in February. I could not cry then... I could not show any emotion when he was near, for my very life hung in the balance.<br /><br />I need to find that poem, as it still resonates with my soul. THANK YOU for sharing it here and reminding me of its healing words...DebKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05138547401841553547noreply@blogger.com
