May your journeys be worth it.


Poem Artwork


Crippl'd though I am under
the elements of
fire and water, I
persevere, hanging on
to silver'd threads
of hope -
I will not let them quench my
desire to live.
Even though I walk through
the valley of death, the
mountains are just ahead
of me:
and I press ever onward,
towards the prize waiting
for me at the summit,
victory in knowing
the journey was
worth it:

yes, worth the pain.

(c) 2006, Karla Dorman.

You have gained such depth and intuitiveness of hearing, Karla, in your writing, this was a joy to read, syllabilically, even though painful to the heart. What I mean is you are a master of words impact, empathically forwarded...

Um, I think you know what I mean! :)

Great one...When I was in the badlands Dakota I bought a pic that hangs on my wall, it has a pic of eagles, with the phrase-climb high, climb far, your goal the sky, your aim the star.

Fire and water aptly describe the elements of never-ending pain, Karla, and I am sorry for your suffering. On-going pain is a total bummer, like a sea-sickness that you can never be free of while still on ship. Love and prayers here. Your silver'd threads make me think of puppet strings which literally hold us up sometimes... they are empowering strings of grace and determination that are divinely inspired and given, I believe. And, yes, the journey is everything. So often we have just a destination in mind, but certainly God is more interested in how we walk the walk, I think. May you find refuge on that great eagle's pinions and find yourself carried when the going gets toooo tough. Empassioned and straight from the heart, like all good poetry should be. Bless you and thank you. Kate xx

Dear Karla,

Don't allow one single negative thread to enter your mind. Envision the YOU in the life you have always dreamed. I will reinforce your positive thoughts with prayer.

Love & Light,

Amen to this poignant declaration of faith Karla!

"Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Stand strong
wisdom is coming
Richard

You express the very core of the human spirit, Karla. Amazing what we can endure yet still press on. I've been priviledged to be a witness to those who struggle under seemingly unsurmountable odds and survive--that spirit and will intact. Sheer beauty in the power of this write. This is what adversity has gifted you. Blessings on your journey...
