One Year Ago Today - I posted these poems right before my soul stole away:

Five Seconds To Sleep

When I blog just before sleep, I think about the prayer for forgiveness that we say at this time. It's more a proclamation than a prayer. We simply say we forgive whoever hurt us today in any way...

"...to forgive - Divine"

for humans it takes longer

sometimes a lifetime

Sometimes I wonder

If I'm being punished

for people I've hurt and

not reconciled with...

When asked who my favorite is

Of all the characters in the Bible

My standard answer is King David

Because he was a guy's guy and a poet

But as I lay in bed, approaching sleep and

In this in between state I access inner truth

I feel like I most relate to Joseph The Dreamer

who felt all that happened in his life was from G-d

And told his brothers that - but never, "I forgive you"
