FREEDOM GODDESS


Liping said she'd like to go to America
and see the freedom goddess.
She meant New York and the Statue of Liberty.

At Quanzhou, I saw a giant Guanyin
on the beach; a sister of Lady Liberty
with many admirers, too.

You immediately put me at ease with the narrative style...as if you were speaking directly to me...and smmiling...such comfortable poetry.

Well done!

Beautiful imagery, Tanzer, as I looked at the picture, I wondered how many women and men had a part in putting up the statue. About the Freedom Goddess, the Statue of Liberty in our country of the United States of America, thirty-six of the most beautiful, most inspiring words ever written came out of the mind and soul of a young American woman. Her name was Emma Lazarus. She wrote the hope-filled paragraph that has welcomed millions of new citizens to the United States. On the base of the statue, one of the wonders of the modern world, are engraved with these inspirational words.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

Thanks for Freedom Goddess, Tanzer. It's a nice way to spend the Sabbath...

Both very interesting pieces, Tanzer - and I love what Anita's son called churches.

The softness of the child comes through with the purest of imagination of the wee ones. Your memory and your love if children boost this insightful pen, teach!

Love,

Epiphany by Gary Stephens

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
