Where has it gone
My inspiration
Where are they now
The words
It’s like the heart
The soul and spirit
Have been put to rest
Gone into hibernation
Holy Spirit stir my being
From this slumber awaken me
Fill my heart with song
My soul with your love
Infuse my spirit
With your inspiration
Guide my hand
In the writing of the words
May the writings shared
Encourage and inspire
Bring joy and cleansing tears
Healing to mind, heart, and spirit.

LETTING GO
One of the most painful things we have to do in our lives is Letting Go. Sometimes it is Letting Go of things…material things which mean a lot to us, even if only sentimental value. It may mean Letting Go of feelings. When we hold sadness inside, and try to mask it with only a show of happiness, it is better to let it go, to feel the sadness so it washes through us. A good cry can be cleansing. Sometimes, we have to let go of someone we care for very deeply when we realize that person does not care for us in the same way. Maybe it is best to leave them remembering us with whatever kind of feeling they do have for us. It may not be possible to hide our own deeper feelings for that person, which could make their life uncomfortable. Letting Go may be the best gift we can give them because they may realize how we feel, yet care enough not to want to hurt us. Even when we know a relationship is not right, on both sides, or one person has a doubt about it, it is hard to let go of something that seems secure. We often accept less than the best because we can’t bear to let go. There are occasions when we feel something wonderful for someone, but we don’t express it for fear of being rejected. Sometimes our feelings will be rejected. Yet, what if we withhold it from the one person who could very well be that One Special Someone in our lives and they too have been afraid to express their true feelings, or don’t even realize their true feelings yet! How sad that we may miss The Best for fear of Letting Go of the expression of those feelings. Whatever the reason, or situation, it is never easy Letting Go. ©March 1994

Oh life of mine… you are the path God has set me upon.
The paths have been crooked, winding, jagged, straight,
narrow and wide, flat and steep.
Some of the paths have been bright and some very dark.
Yet all along the way “He” has gifted me with many to light my way…
family members, many who are also friends, strangers who became friends,
and some souls who passed through this life of mine to guide a step or two,
then went on their way.
The last several years have been the beginning of a brand new life, a brand new path.
I have closed the gates to past issues, and so many new gates have opened along this
new path I have chosen.
My spirit has come alive on this path.
As in the past, new friends have come lighting the way
These friends are the Candles in my Life.
Thank you dear God, for these blessings.
