   Love to hear this one recited. Are you familiar with Ethridge Knight’s work? He was/is an inmate at Folsom prison….

   it is a miracle to be given all the chances to succeed over and over again. One day, this too will end. But for now we bow in grace and beauty for the being granted another turn with the master weaver. can’t wait to walk by your side some day soon.

   ‘Rewoven’ is a wonderful visual for this new path before you (and me)!

   So many gifts, so many miracles. One big gift to me is that you’ll be around longer. That’s huge for me.

   Love your style and substance, Don; clean, succinct, direct. Less is more.

    Don, The healing is a miracle . Sustain it with sprouts, melons, whey and determination. I’m sending many arrows of esp.

    spinoff from L. Cohen tune maybe fits for a loving and grateful comment:
    Oh, the blessings of mercy
    They are not departed or gone
    One was waiting for you
    When You thought you might not go on
    Now I give you this comment
    And later I’ll sing you the song
    I’m so glad you received one
    You, who’s been traveling so long.

    There’s so very much in this little poem, and so much tenderness for this journey we’re all on in this benevolent darkness. Thanks!

    Rejoice in healing and rebirth in the dark, rising again and again to the Light and our shared gladness.

    I had breast cancer surgery in winter, 10 years ago.

    “darkness healing, life rewoven, new beginning.” expresses what I felt then, and the gratitude I feel now. Thank you for the universal beauty and the gritty truth of your poetry.

    back on line and – –
    thankful that
    through a dark night
    the voice of a beautiful river
    can still be heard
