Going against the flow ...

The suck of depression
threatens to pull me down
into the madswirl of
darkness' drain. It wants
me, know it does. Thank God
for those swimming lessons!!
Head above water. B r e a t h e.
Don't forget to paddle.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (12/2)

Wish I had Moses walking-cane so I could throw it in the waters and part them so you could go across that whirlpool without anxiety. Georg

What's the adage'? "How long can you tread water?" Perfect read for a new day and gives me plenty to think about. Love, Susan

As Dory says in "Finding Nemo": "Just keep swimmin', swimmin', swimmin'..." :) It is during these dark cesspools of life that we have to learn to rely on God, give Him our cares, let Him handle it, because you KNOW He can--and WILL. Good write, Karla; brava! (((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :) Hope you find the Sonshine soon in your rainy world! :)

nice, succinct and too true -the power of breath is underrated, especially if fortunate enough to live in cleanish air - why we dont teach meditation breath in schools is beyond my small brain - beats drugs any day or night, perhaps that's why.... Good poem Karla - nicky xx
