| Posted by Kathleen Wilson on 05/03/07 at 09:58 PM Yes! this is exactly how it happens. I love the "aha" and the "let go" in that position... it has a surprising effect...as most people do not notice they are holding on! |
| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 05/04/07 at 03:56 AM Hi Sandy. My, I like this, very focused. A true desire is not to have but to be. We are whole creatures in potential, and the true purpose of desire is to unfold that wholeness, to become what we can be. As Goethe says,"Desire is our presentiment of our inner abilities, and the forerunner of our ultimate accomplishments." Cheers and thanks. |
| Posted by Genevieve Sturrock on 05/04/07 at 01:54 PM i, too, like this. learning to let go is so very difficult...but actually letting go, is surprisingly easy...and so, incredibly freeing. |

| Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 05/05/07 at 01:59 AM A wonderful meditative poem. Looking within and by holding arms out palms open toward the heavens signifies also looking toward God. And of course, for the Christian that means Christ in us (looking up and looking in). |

It's been a long time - I note that you returned about a year ago - sorry I didn't touch bas ewith you till now - but wow, this is a really fine poem - makes the "tree" exercise work not only as a meditative exercise but a metaphor too - nice work, and congrats on POTD! d:-) |
| Posted by Bruce W Niedt on 05/13/07 at 04:19 AM Oops - typo (wish we could edit these things) - that's "touch base with you", of course.... |
