(429) WHERE DO I BEGIN? (POSTED) In the conveyance of… revered acknowledgement for Your supple vin but then, moving beyond… baring my expressed relish of Your tender fawn… Where do I begin…? In times of trials and veer I know not what it means… to be without Your care or to feel…alone for it is in the space…of a taxing place that I am reminded unceasingly I am…Your own. But …what of all my highs and lows… those varied ro0ms my mind purposes…to go when…in the very nick of time I am pulled near and soothed… by a will that is …Thine Indeed, the multitude of…things that should ‘topple’…me becomes a staircase to apex branches …of living tree where…serene…meets me… embracing beyond …exorable and I levitate bonding…so free! My daily sways…classified within idiosyncrasies of…norm do not drown me in the storms simply because… in the middle of a spinning current, still… I am Yours, even on outer edge of same… with overshadowing…sustain. There is no question, no…none at all whether in sunlight or moon’s thrall indeed, I have nothing whatsoever with my breaths…to do they are entirely…up to You! Considering…Your Sovereign Redeem I find the multitude of words which could be used in declaring my enamored esteem, really… so inadequate, as… for Your faithfully rendered… life-long, perpetual…Love Zin… Jehovah, mine… Where do I…begin?

Where do I begin: a perennial question many of us ask as we go through the trials and travails that life presents. A fine inspirational work.

As usual, your words in this poem were magnificent, but all I could think of was the first line to the theme song of Love Story, whether it be Andy Williams version or Shirley Bassey.

In the middle of watching the movie, my girlfriend started crying. She didn't stop during the 60 miles driving back home. When I asked her why she was crying so much, she cried, "That's us!"

She left me a few months later to marry a man who, after a bitter divorce, had two mentally retarded children. I guess she wanted to care for more than me.
