Starward commented on: in God’s sovereign hand by ewbonitz 3 years 2 weeks* ago* I have had that experience: I have had that experience (once, in the failure of a marriage; more than once in the failures of more casual relationships in high school and college). The deviousness of the forces that cause the failure is that the experience comes with an implied suggestion, which we all dread to face, that it has a lasting duration; and, at least in my case (and, I suspect, in the great multitude of them), it does not. My heart goes out to you. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Calvary by ewbonitz 3 years 2 weeks* ago* I dislike the: I dislike the wrath-appeasement theology in Western Christianity (especially fundamentalism); and I like the Eastern Christian interpretation of the Parable of the Prodigal Son which points out that the wronged Father did not require---did not even ask---for any kind of appeasement from the repentant Son, nor was any penal sacrifice required. I like the simpler and (I think) more Biblical perspective that Sin (as a force, not as an individual failing) is the cause of Death (Genesis 2:17), and that Christ's death on the cross broke the lasting effects of this power---rather than merely appeasing the anger and outrage supposedly felt by His Father. (Again, nothing of that sort is attributed to the father figure in the parable.) Jonathan Edwards' "sinners in the hands of an angry God" approach to preaching/exegesis was obviously ignorant of the commutative and associative powers of logic when comparing 1 Corinthians 13 to 1 John 4. I apologize for my verbosity, but your poem inspired me to pursue this thought. [ go to comment ]

Spinoza commented on: + 2ND POEMS: A Few Breath Prayers by S74rw4rd-13d 3 years 2 weeks* ago* always a way forward: Whenever I’m dragging and my soul is in anguish, I read Psalms and find new strength and a path forward. So great is the darkness around us, it often eclipses our soul’s ability to cope. But whenever we read Psalms, we have that comfort of knowing, is not a new phenomenon. And with God’s Spirit, there is always a way forward. As so many before us have found. [ go to comment ]
Spinoza commented on: The second time around by Angelhavingfun 3 years 2 weeks* ago* Sometimes yes - sometimes no: Sometimes the second time around is the best time around, if it isn’t a second reunion to disaster. Which is why some things end on the first go around. But that said, sometimes we just have an addiction to the wrong person – who doesn’t quite have the right frequency for our soul’s happiness.

Starward commented on: + 2ND POEMS: A Few Breath Prayers by S74rw4rd-13d 3 years 2 weeks* ago* Thank you for your comment: Thank you for your comment and the very fine compliments. A comment from you is always a personal thrill of the finest order; and then when you mention the name of Virgil, that just raises my joy exponentially.

patriciajj commented on: + 2ND POEMS: A Few Breath Prayers by S74rw4rd-13d 3 years 2 weeks* ago* So much Light and compassion: So much Light and compassion breathes in, out and through each regal, heartfelt prayer that I believe they are, absolutely, Divine, and you, with humility, were a willing vessel. And that's no small honor! Weren't many great poets like William Blake , Henry Thoreau and others going back to Virgil and Homer, sometimes couriers for Ultimate Reality? I am so deeply moved on a very personal level by these gleaming, most healing, special deliveries. Thank you for being an open vessel bearing precious gifts. God bless. [ go to comment ]
