Dear friends, due to serious family health issues and consequent commotions, I’m afraid I won’t be able to post, as well as to read and comment on your writings regularly for a while. So far, as I tried to express in my short poem, “the course” is not very clear yet, but I’m hoping – as is Joseph – that, when “the wake becomes visible in the night”, it may be a luminous one. Meanwhile, I’ll be thinking of you with great affection... and here’s a big, warm {{{{{{{{{{{hug}}}}}}}}}}} enfolding you all!

Like a slow drift


Just a few words…
like a slow drift
strumming the hull
at starboard
with all the reserved salt
of a course that is not wave
as yet.
Just a few words…
until the wake becomes visible
in the night
where the embrace
is open sea.

Dear Xuxa,

This poem describes, so well, that feeling of being adrift yet all the time hopeful for the wake to become visible in the night. Thank You for holding me through this.

All my love,
Joseph

The sea will settle and the wake will become clear, and all will be well. Have comfortable faith in this.

Joy comes in the morning and straits open up into open seas with bright, distant horizons. Blessings to you and Joseph. You are loved.

Alexandra,

Very beautiful in imagery. Life is much like a ship and to be caught adrift is futile. I wish you both well and hope to see you streamlining out on them open seas again soon. In the meantime, God Bless You Both and Take Care.
