Messages that defy Earth's Gravitational Pull - For Jayne


Behind a confusedand chattering mindlies an ocean of silencespace and time;behind the purplepyramid of perplexitylies the quintessenceof deep serenity;behind the illusionof sought-after happinesslies the permanenceof pure bliss;behind a mirageof a myriad peccadilloeslies a great reservoirof inexhaustible strengthbehind the dauntingdarkness of doubtflourishes a lightof eternal hope

I am home ...

and wanted to leave a message on this for you ... I am so honored that I inspired you so often the people here inspire me it gives me a sense of pride and im not going to lie and say it doesnt ... that I inspired this ... these words are so beautiful and to think you wrote them for me is a incredibly humbling experience ... thank you so much I didnt know what to say when I first read it , it was like reading a description of me , in a way the first lines are more true than you could have known , not in a bad way but its scary how transparent I must be lol ... But I am grateful for this one day my kids will have this I have saved it for them ... so from them I will thank you in advance ... Much love and respect Jayne (hugz) x x mwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)

Fabulous, a great write & it describes Jayne Chloe really well, but also stands on it's own. Fantastic write I think you should feel proud Cheers~ Anni ~~~ "Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond o

Leonard, o how you sing! So

Leonard, o how you sing! So much love in you. Anna "There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic." Anais Nin
