if we could go back in time...
would we save ourselves the heartache and the pain?
with hind site
would i have kept walking away
(all those years ago)
with my newborn in my arms
...or would i have still gone through the pain?
maybe i could have viewed *pain*
differently?
perhaps i could have embraced it?
instead of allowing it as a disease to swallow me whole
the pain that was my partner in crime, my martyr,
my darkness, and my way of blaming others...
...and now...
that i have stepped into my future
and completed that painful path...
i can see that pain has been my teacher,
my light, providence...
instead of the stone tied to my foot...
and ~pain~ has turned from the physical burden that it was,
into the ~spiritual light~ that now *shines*
and ~illuminates~ my way into the future...
grateful i am
for this journey
i call ~my life~

Harvest mOOn
Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleeping
We could dream this night away.
But there's a full moon rising
Let's go dancing in the light
We know where the music's playing
Let's go out and feel the night.
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
When we were strangers
I watched you from afar
When we were lovers
I loved you with all my heart.
But now it's getting late
And the moon is climbing high
I want to celebrate
See it shining in your eye.
Because I'm still in love with you
I want to see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
...Neil Young

nolly, i think we're fortunate, maybe, to have had the pain ... since it does seem to lead to so much light ... i don't think i'd change anything ... xoxo

Pain is character building..that's why I'm such a character..lol
Beautiful and poignant post..our greatest teachers are often the ones that give us the most pain and grief...to learn to be grateful for them and move on, that's growth.
and thank you for the Neil Young interlude..it made me happy

You came over and posted on my blog, under the post about my father's dream story and I'm such a doofus..your post reminded me that I'm a consultant for a storybooking company and I could just make a little book...sometimes the answer is right there and it takes a little nudge to see it..thanks for the nudge!! I'll send you a preview when it's done.
Thank you Thank you Thank you

aaah Vicki, I am so glad to see that this is where it has all come to. And you did know that what you have been learning, as you learn, as a result of that journey, you share it with us, and we in turn learn and grown. :-)
