Comment from Judy Swanson
Deborah, What a journey you describe here! Rather like descending into the hell of total aloneness, hopelessness, anger, retreat, and wailing and flailing; before taking one more risk, opening up to the light with a prayer, and trusting the answer. There are a lot of places to wander here, my friend, and may twists and turns to take on the journey. I believe you describe a path that many have taken, and the wise ones have the courage to find the way out - as you describe here.
Love and hugs to you,
Judy

Not sure Judy who and why the journey came out like this but, it did and I'm satisfied I said what I needed to say. People go through life whining and not appreciating what is right in front of them including myself. Was in a tranced stated on this one and have no idea how I got there or why only that sometimes that is how I am worked by a power stronger than self. Thank you for coming by and reading reviewing and sending me your love ...needed it badly today. xoxo love, hugs and anything else good inside me I can toss your way....xoxo deborah

Hi friend - we all have times like this. I admire the way you wrote your way through it, and then shared the journey. Hopefully some of us will get the point and move through the dark times more quickly. Make yourself a margharita or something and celebrate yourself. You are an awesome woman. Love to you. Judy

Comment from Paradox Tremors
This is a good write my friend--at first, I had my doubts about where it was all going and then you pulled it together so beautifully. A great write my friend. Sometimes we just have to throw in the towel and say: "God, you take it from here."

Welcome to the club Paradox...on this one I had no idea where it would take me either, but somehow I saw through the trance state I was in for the write and sorted through the bs ... it felt a little like a victory over something evil lurking inside of me...thanks for the read and review. xoxo deborah
Comment from words
A wonderful testament to the power of His words, if we use our spiritual ear to hear.
I especially liked your response:I said
Please
Here I am
I don't know what else
You would have me do
but, give me the strength
to put my faith back in you

me either sweetie but, this one night I was dying...lost in a paradise of darkness with no available way to emerge intact from the experience and then i turned on tv and randomly there she was and she said the exact thing I needed to hear ... if the truth is truly said, I hate the evangelistic approach to teaching about God. It is so infused with greed and evil sometimes it sickens me to see all the playacting going on. The worst of it for me is that they always seem to target old people good decent honorable old people and take their savings as if to pay is a way to make it to Heaven. no thanks, but Joyce Meyer is the exception and she rocks! thanks my sweet friend for your review. xoxo debs
Comment from Matoshka
I so loved this 23rd Psalms and 1/2. I loved how you took it and added to it underneath each line. I am so glad, you gave your life to the Lord, what a Blessing. He never lets us go. I enjoyed your words and picture. Blessings my friend.

Comment from Bellringer
You took me through the valley of the shadow of death and into the light with this poem. Very thoughtful side by side use of the Twenty-Third Psalm. Your poem is a tour-de-force of spiritual discovery. It is clear, inspiring and loaded with great imagery. Blessings, Hector

Thank you Lola for this incredible review. If I managed any of what you have said I am stunned! This was done in trance something more powerful than my own mind grabbed me by my coat tails and shook me hard last night...This was the result. Thank you so much again. xoxo deborah

What a charming person you are Writer to give me such an honor as this one. This one happened while I was in a trance. I just started writing and it happened which leads me to believe that something stronger than my ability had a grip on me. I personally think it says exactly what I meant to say and I am honored that it touched you in so dramatic a way. Thank you so much again...I can't begin to tell you how you have made me feel this day! sending a boatload of flowers and hugs. xoxo deborah
Comment from Kingsland
This is a different way to write a piece of poetic art. I found this to be very clever and it was so very inventive as well. You do have a handle on this art form, as it shows in this very creative poetic artistry. This was my pleasure to have read and written this response for... John

Comment from dinoscribe
"I have heard the bells, seen the stars, felt the divine.
How could I not believe."
I love this I have truly felt as the first part of your poem portrays and I really like how the poems pace changes with the second half; replacing the cynicism with clarity of thought.
A good narrative tone and nice flow. And a good message too.

Again, I am speechless and feel so humbled by how many of you believe in this write and my ability to pull it off! I can only say when this one started I had nothing but love in my heart and despair too...something gripped my soul and I just went with it. It was complete and utter acceptance on my part that I was writing something out of my personal control...hasn't happened for a while but, I had hoped it would touch others the way it touched me...Thank you so much for this honor. I'm floored! xoxo deborah
