The Present All


Thoughts within the mind to trace

Within this heart a questing place
A knowing and a longing wise
Your spirit in grace to ever rise
For love and faith bequeath your soul
In peace, flight, fury, a noble goal
Rising sun of morn, waxing moon of night
Splendor of The Way, dark beget light
Thunderous waves, waters call
Majestic so be the present All
Life in gratitude and loving praise
Now be known this gift of days
Within each moment, each hour, all time
The glory of God's gifts eternal sublime.

Rose Marie Raccioppi

ROSE MARIE-

Oh the passion and honest storms of life - loving - raw - soothing - chaotic and calm -oh such are your words and images blending, perhaps crashing, often surging to a crescendo of power and peace and deep meaning. The spirit in word and image vulnerable and soulful. Oh how well you know.
Love to you my friend
Gail

p.s. keep an eye out for a small package - mailed to you today with love.
