Once I was an
island.

And seas cast wild against
my shores.

Once I was afraid...as storms sought a
lessening of myself in angry bites.

Islands stand alone.

Once I fought the sea and defied the
very winds that carved my
place in time.

Yet still my shores fell less to
greater waters.

No island is forever.

Once...I simply gave
myself away.

The sea no longer threatened with the
storm of her desires.

And washed in waters now found
holy...I am part of
something
more.

Once...I thought I was an
island.



Love,
Eric

Beautiful!

I always like the word "island," like I's land! Land of I's... mmmm...

Thanks for thinking of us dearestestest Ericc! I thought your thought was very thoughtful! he he..

This is a very beautiful poem! Remarkable. Slightly different voice from what I 'members... sort of... but as mystical, thought inspiring, magical and LOVE FILLED as the other beautiful Eric P. McCarty gems... aaahhhh yes....

AND WHAT BEAUTIFUL REPLIES EVERYONE!!!

Love and light being, Teo Do (Re, Mi, Far, Soul...)

Teo!
You are another creative one! I love how you put Eric's beautiful poem on the picture!
That should be made into a poster, It reminds me of the work Joie does!
Love,

That's nice of you to say that Sandy!

It's sort of... ALL ONE... at least to me... in a way... see:

Joie used to tell me about the calendars she did, with her photography, Sylvie mentioned some CDs for central america, Eric convinced me to ask poets to help my WellBeingCreativity idea of like, multimedia, and Givnology is the extension from that! Maybe that sounds like a long story, but it's sort of all one little blip, the loving compassionate artistry from the old Chopra boards, still in an echo, still saved and continued here...

If you want to see how I "overlay" things, just click QUOTE and it'll show it all to you!

It isn't easy deciding colors of text that are easily visible - and nice looking! This one works.
