One loving grace by Pierre Ortega Friday, March 17, 2006 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan A single letter is all that can separate everything we do into right and wrong and that letter is I
Just one loving grace denied in the intolerance of our selfishness, or afforded in the sincerity of our smiles, is all that decides how painful or beautiful we can sing our song, if we will live in peace or madness or become the victims of our own fear. Just one lonely space hidden in our longing, where we cry within our loss, is all that divides our hearts from where they are in sadness and where they belong in joy. That empty place however hard sought by each other's hope, is still harbored along the shores of our indifference and lost upon the sea of our tears. Copyright 2005 Pierre Ortega��

"...along the shores of our indifference ..." A powerful line Dear Pierre, yet they all are! A beautiful title for a necessary poem, set up perfectly with the statement: "A single letter is all that can separate everything we do into right and wrong and that letter is I" Thank you for sharing your heart! Love, Suzie :-D

amen to this, brother. this is the space in between choices indeed. the application of mental and spiritual power to the real world, to the mundane everyday world of our senses is where true ascention lies, isn't it...great work, extraordinary insight.

"That empty place is...harbored along the shores of our indifference and lost upon the sea of our tears." Profoundly beautiful, Pierre! That empty place, the middle path, the flutter of transcendence, that loving grace, pure joy is held back by the indulgent ego("I") and resulting emotions. This I saved! Lin
