You are May Sarton?

(This is Joey replying to you:)

In my dreams, honey...but I love that  book!  Anyway, to complete the circle:   it is really about authenticity.  Right?  About finding the way to be most true to yourself.  That is the Heath legacy.  That is what May Sarton struggled with.  It is a struggle for all of us (lucky enough not to have to struggle first for bread on the table.)   God  bless.

I never imagined this would change my world the way it's doing...

The world seems a far better place with Heath Ledger in it.
If you'd just realize what I just realized then we'd be perfect for each other and we'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other now
We missed out on each other now

It is helping to write these little poems.
I posted it in my blog, but thought to bring it here too.



You Rise Still


you slipped away
unobserved
like a silent whisper.
your spirit rises
like soft strands of smoke
from a quenched candle.
you rise far
from this chaos and loss
you rise still.

there is more
beyond this earthly vale
distant shores
where footprints remain
forever etched in sand.
you are there
where shadows are not
where your sun gleams
you are there
you rise still.

you slipped away
in the light of day
I pray you felt no fear
close to the end
for you rise still.
bits of your soul breathe
in these bereft hearts
you are here
even as you rise far
from this restless haze
you rise still.

Dear friends,

I wish I could spend more time here this week, but my Dad passed away on Monday night, less than 24 hours before Heath.  I'll mostly be away from BM until early next week.  My thoughts are with everyone here at this very sad time.
