My life is change. This acronym reflects that. The only constant is the Source which sustains me...


Looking back we cannot see the people of the past;
Ahead of us we cannot see those who are yet to come.
I must muse on heaven and earth, immense and enduring,
And lonely, engulfed by sorrow, my tears fall.

-Chen Ziang, Climbing Youzhou Tower-a song



Love
Is
Not
Denied
All is still

Go

Forward
In
Grace
God
Is
Not
Silent



L.G.  Figgins (c) 2009

Your strength is within you Lin.
You are the DNA and Catalyst of God. Go forth and spread your seeds.

Wonderful verse that springs from your heart of gold.

I love how you did this, not so much describing yourself but very creatively and poetically showing us your soul.

Hi Lin. I saw this the other day and I just kind of scratched my head. Then I found bears's challenge source and now I understand. A wonderful profound piece. I started one myself. I don't know that I'll finish it, very easy on the surface but look out!! The devil's in the details.

How fabulous is this?? Such strength, faith and assurance. I LOVE the idea of using acronym of self to set forth a kind of personal mission statement or modus vivendi/operandi. Very bold, too, to couch positives within negative phraseology. I, too, like "All is still", speaking both of equilibrium AND of the ongoing motion of everything being in flux and as if as yet to come. Totally brilliant, thank you. Kate xx

Interesting... What really caught my attention was
"All is still", at that particular place in your poem.
