"ETERNITY"(FIRST - a short P.S. to yesterday's blog.)
P.S. #1 - Upon first getting sober, I had only one basket. It was the alcoholic basket and it was full of drinking, recovering from being drunk, drinking again, recovering, etc. etc. with a whole lot of fear, remorse, and guilt sprinkled in.
P.S. #2 - The eggs in that one basket were all "putrefying"

Now - on to a hopefully lighter, happier, more spiritual/philosophical note.
Another poem.
ETERNITY
The eons of time cascade by
The centuries pass in parade
The years step one into one
And why do I feel entwined?
The months with their seasons spring forth
Into weeks with their days marching forth
Leading irresistibly onward
To everywhere - nowhere at all
And the hours sweep endlessly by
Ticked off by the seconds so brief
And between are the flickers of eye blinks
Into nothing and nothing at all
Yet in that bare blink of the lid
Mirrored there in its' translucent skin
Arrayed out are the eons of time
And I know that I "am" so entwined

Hey, Prayer Girl...why didn't you tell me you're a poet (poetess?). Well, we've only been married for 18 years! Maybe you were saving it for 20
That is beautiful!

"leading irresistible onward"
that's it, isn't it. while you're going, you may as well get the most out of it...
I liked that very much.
Have a wonderful Holiday.
Beautiful!
I just wanted to pop on and say a quick thank you to you for being a part of the fellowship with me. I'm so grateful to have gained strength and love through you and Mr-aroni!
You have both become beloved parts of my day and I carry you and the fellowship with me and hope I represent it well when I go to make these amends to my brother and parents.
Thanks again for the beauty and joy you bring to my day!
Happy thanksgiving!
Peace, love and joy that surpasses all understanding be with you!

That's a wonderful poem. Time goes by so fast and the hours do sweep endlessly by. But like you said it all leads to our being entwined with the universe. And it leads to an everlasting place where time doesn't matter.
thank you so much for reading me, and for giving me such kindness. your words have given me strength today. and i appreciate your prayers. i feel as though i am close to falling apart. i am only 45 days sober. this healing journal is new to me and i have found people who are really supportive and kind. i didn't expect that. thank you so much. ♥
i will come back often, for strength. you write so well. and have so much faith, hope, and peace in your words.

Wonderful poem. It sort of made me sad that I had robbed time of its outcome for many years. Now I wonder if I'm trying to grab it back.
