The unanswered questions, the longing for the beloved, the loss of what might have been, and the going forward despite the loss. <br /><br />I appreciate your post. It is really "meaty"--good food for thought. I know I've made the choice to transform rather than transmit. Don't know exactly how to do that and so I continue to ask God to do His work in me. I feel so weak. One day, I will arrive at the golden gates and then I will know if what I hope for happened. I will say this for now: I am a changed person, and my capacity for compassion and mercy has grown. That's one good result from suffering.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519140951660677172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-30159547666840020002010-03-14T18:08:37.697-07:002010-03-14T18:08:37.697-07:00it struck me while reading this, that I have been ...it struck me while reading this, that I have been guilty of wanting to transmit my pain. Sometimes for the strange sense of community , sometimes because I feel that someone isn't suffering or grieving enough or properly. Sometimes it feels like an action, rather than emptiness.<br /><br /> Losing a child would , I hope, tear such a divide in my soul that I would know to transform or perish and drag others into darkness as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924061349390319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-21953280212775348592010-03-14T16:40:19.074-07:002010-03-14T16:40:19.074-07:00Too many of us, torn by having to watch our childr...Too many of us, torn by having to watch our children suffer and die...<br />I CHOOSE to transform.

Saw my acupuncturist last week and she was saying the same thing -- though more about transforming negative energy into something more positive.<br /><br />Makes sense.

The resonant one, though, is the one that talks of NOT transmitting pain, something that I struggle with or at least the knowledge of that power that I might have. Thank you for explaining how these words affect you. And the poem? Oh, how can I add words to such a powerful testament? I won't but be grateful for it, instead.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313726816776097840noreply@blogger.com
