'HE' FINDS US EVERYWHERE. HOW OFTEN I REMINISCE ON HOW LONG 'HE' WAITED AND HOW DEEPLY 'HE' DUG INTO THE STENCH OF THAT MIRY PLACE...AND PULLED ME OUT. I AM GRATEFUL AND THEREFORE HAVE HOPE FOR THOSE STILL LOST, BUT ARE STILL HERE, AND UNDOUBTEDLY STILL SO LOVED...YET TO BE FOUND. FOR WHILE THERE IS LIFE, THERE IS HOPE AND IT'S NOT LIKE 'HE' DOESN'T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE, BUT 'HIS' TIMING...IS 'HIS' TIMING. AMEN. A POWERFUL WORK TO WHICH...ALL WHO KNOW...CAN RELATE. I WILL KEEP THIS ONE, THANK YOU FOR SHARING, RICHARD. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Very beautifully written to describe the path taken by you and perhaps, many others. There are innuendos of it being partially mental rather than physical. Particularly the metaphor of "cracks of light" being inspiration coming through the darkness of mundane existence.

An eloquent poetic rendering of the struggles people have in life, as a part of life, and how we address them. Inspirational and profound.

Bravo Richard,
I absolutely 100% relate to those feelings because I feel I've been there. I'm a deep thinker on several levels. Our lives on earth are ever evolving / shedding the old bringing in newness. Life is a bit surprising to say the least and we are ever asking at times, why doesn't things change and then BOOM!!!!!! Massive unforeseen evolution gives you a fresh crisp revelation ..! I have studied my life in every sense and have come to the realization I've not been guided by my self but by Almighty God UNKNOWINGLY!!! Ive sworn it was me guiding my evolution foot steps but He appointed me and knew me before the womb and had me meet certain people and have certain people come in my life. It's never in vein and always in the end to glorify Him, and bring others to Him. He is absolutely leading us.. That is what is so mind boggling. He is above time, space, world rulers, wall street rulers, all principalities, longitude, latitude, name it, He is above all and He is guiding His children. But what i want to achieve is how I have loved and given service to His beloveds and taught them His love. Powerful words of reflection in this pen of yours !

It always is more than common its just that sometimes we do not become aware of it until later in life, very deep thoughts well penned and very easily delved into thankyou for sharing dear Richard.
