This most magnificent poem: This most magnificent poem enters my soul at such an intimate level (the soul of Starward-Led, and not of "Fairy Jerry") that ordinary verbal combinations do not adequately bear the weight of gratitude.
Thank you for commenting, and: Thank you for commenting, and please forgive my failure to inquire, more often, how you are doing.
Whale's great film, and all the "Easter Eggs" he hid within it, taught me (though I did not know it at first) how to be "different" in the homophobic society that surrounded me, and how to accept my nature as it was given me. That partial viewing on that Friday night in January, 1964, was the first time I witnessed Karloff's great acting skill. Five years and a month later, Karloff's death in London caused me to weep openly in fifth grade home room, which was the beginning of being called "Fairy Jerry." And, most importantly, it was a reiteration (several times over) the significance of the Crucifix which, to me, was the centerpiece of my Aunt and Uncle's small home in Gratis, Ohio. And yes, the Crucifix did show me the supreme expression of Love given me by the StarMaker Himself.
Yes, I’m still alive. Half: Yes, I’m still alive. Half insane, but still here. Forgive me for neglecting your stirring chronicles of spiritual expansion, and I am referring to all your poignant, significant collections.
Here I find myself at the sunrise of your profound connection with the Divine. So inspiring, the many ways God called to you throughout the years and the many ways you heard Him clearly.
It was as if a cosmic spotlight illuminated this classic film just for you and set you on a path of self awareness, unquenchable curiosity and, finally, all encompassing love in both its sublime and human form.
Another sacred signpost on your journey, expressed with engaging sincerity.
Flows like a river of tears: Flows like a river of tears across whole continents, combining oceans with a garland of the surviving water lilies who thrive on the soothing subtle sound of sweet emotion
