Just my kind of question! ;)) A new and interesting perspective on "ta panta rhei" with the physicality of "cut skin" and "stitches" and the spirituality of faith that really make us feel and think.
Very effective Kate, I hope that you are doing fine.

I love the verse about the coins, Kate. Thoughtful piece. Hugs,

Well, there was a time...
And one time....
and another time...
and then there was that one time...
and the time we spent...

Your mind never ceases to facinate me. --Charlie

Genius. Please get well soon.

a gem of a poem. Brilliant! Sorry to hear you're unwell! What is it with us Kate, we take turns;-)Hope and pray you are on the mend.

Love and hugs,

So true! Time does not exist, except in our imaginations.
Indeed the skin will repair. (a stitch in Time) Yet without any effort on our part.

You are one enlightened masked babe. xx

Some truly deep thoughts Kate, well presented.

Time:
who can prove it?

Actually, my dog. Glad you are on the mend. Patrick

MAY GOD BLESS YOU, KATE!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

good question. I hope you prove the theory time heals, quickly!!!Morgan

YOUR FAITH SHINES THROUGH SO BEAUTIFULLY, KATE...AND YOU ARE SAFE AND SECURE IN ITS 'LIGHT'. MAY 'TIME', ONCE AGAIN, PERFORM THE MIRACLE OF 'TOTAL HEALING' IN YOUR LIFE. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Kate, Glad you are much better! Walk
by faith.
Always,
Deborah

I love the mood of this, Kate. I hope your recovery will be short and complete. Be well.
Sherry

May your light be always free as your step is light. May your feelings be always eclipsed by your faith. May your deeds remain through the crucible of Time, so that Time can prove them aright.

THis is a signpost on the sweet road to recovery. Be well, Kate!

post operative? wow...be well Kate, you are much too young!

Science says there is "no time" it's just an optical illusion of the 3rd dimension...mind boggles in comprehension, yet there is a sense of knowing this truth...we are infinite timeless beings, playing parts in the moment of now

So glad you are on the raod to healing, and your poetry is always a joy to read

Blind faith, why it is the province of miracles my dear Kate. That which endures through the darkness of night to greet the next light is the affirmation we seek. Hope you are up and about with no annoyances to slow your pace. I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

So glad to hear that you are recovering well and still able to keep both your sense of humor and your muse close by at your side. As always your poetry grasps the similarity between life and spiritually living and love the methaphoric channelling done here.

Succinct and yet most powerful in evoking thought and awakening feeling, Kate. I find your offering philosophically compelling. Thank you for sharing. Love, hugs, and best wishes,

Regis

Time is only a human event and it goes by so quickly you cannot grasp it. Rest, heal, and return refreshed.

Like straining stitches. . . yes, indeed. How often do we feel our faith tested to its limits. Well said.

Dearest Kate,
I can see that this surgery has been an awakening of spiritual energy. The light that you have felt is angelic healing energy, somewhat like I have felt during this type of environment.
I had surgery in 1999 and did leave this earth for a few minutes. From that experience, I have been blessed with healing powers. I have been praying and sending you angelic healing energy ever since I heard of your surgery. You will be well soon and feeling better than ever!
Keep tight those gold coins, as Jude says "spend the gold coins of our spirit and produce an alchemical blessing.."

Heal with happiness and smile through any pain, for with pain comes feelings of successful healing of both the mind and body.

Love you,
Amber

Lovely as always ..rest and heal sweet lady...Hugss

Heal fast, Miss Kate...e

You know the secrets, the essence...and you teach them here in this terse and beautiful poem full of discernment.
I'm so worried, Kate, Kate, Kate be well.
Blessings,
Christine

philosophic and absorbing ... light birth is indeed secure, as long as the source of its luminosity is kept productive/conductive ... blind faith has it own internal radiance and is the source onto itself ... as far as proof, one can only live it by allowing the stitches of our wounds to heal, then perhaps we can spend the gold coins of our spirit and produce an alchemical blessing .... be well, Kate ...

Very nice, Kate. Get well quickly and God bless.
