*In the beginning..there was only darkness and void...then, He said "Let there be light!" and there was light...
And so, I ventured forth
Perchance, to heal
Perhaps to be healed
But to seek and learn, none the less
Finding my spiritual center
Unfolding wings
That had been too tightly wrapped
Learning to 'fly' again
There are worse things
Than being alone
Solitude has its grace
Time for grounding...time for balance
The 'sought' became 'the seeker'
The 'lost' became 'the found'
Remembered from the ashes
The journey began
As a circle within a square
Within a circle
Never ending...evolving
I become...I remain
Who I have always been
And go to find
Who I will be
*flying over ireland and into manchester...i looked down and found heaven on earth. the rich tapestry of a countryside that had a history so imbedded as to portray itself as a velvet carpet, unfolded to greet me as.. i fell in love....with England! aml...k

there are some beautiful places around England, I just wish they would leave them alone and stop house building over the best bits. I hope you visited Old Trafford while you were over here, the home of the finest football(soccer)team in the world! A most beautiful poem indeed.

Beautiful write!
My memories as an immigrant professional woman in Ottawa, Canada 47 years ago. A new life after having survived the liberal war of a new country Bangladesh on December 16, 1971.
Destiny's Daughter by Frances Altman highlights events in the life of Mary Edwards Walker, maverick suffragist, Civil War doctor and only woman Medal of Honor recipient.
This book has been eight years in the making. It is mostly a jumble of thoughts written down in old spiral notebooks and hidden in the bottom drawer underneath various manuals for software packages and hardware long since turned obsolete.
