Regis, you've found one of the greatest comforts given to us... to return to the bosom of Mother Earth, our too often neglected and underappreciated mother. She soothes and she heals.

Regis, you have reached way down deep inside yourself with this write and touched that place of loneliness and sadness, and seem to have found solace. You have also drawn it out of yourself and offered it up for others, too, to weep with you, and find solace with you. Well done! Peace.

I am rediscovering nature, but so fortunately for me...I am discovering it as the only frame beautiful enough in which to place the love of my life.
I wish this on you, and I see all my previous pain as just the path to this, if only we could see it coming.
You just wait.

In nature�s bosom where
Petal tears
From fragrant flowers fell and where you wrote:
From grieving ashen skies
Soothed my fevered face
Lamentations from the wind
Moaning among the rugged crags
Higher on the mountain
Reached the depths of my soul
And echoed there

actually the rest that followed- into the Valley and the way you wrote it smaller and etc.. Just Awesome.. I enjoyed this emmensouly

Dearest Regis,
You write out of the depths of your heart and in so doing touch the hearts of others with your words. I pray you find comfort where you seek it. So often people ignore the beauty around them and focus on their pain when Love calls in the quietest flutter of a butterfly wing or the shrills, warbles and tweets of the birds. Love warms with the gentle touch of sunbeams and carresses our tearful faces with the softest of breezes. I know that you don't ignore the beauty around you. It is so evident in reading your words that you appreciate and love it all. I too find respite in Nature through hard times and I am never alone.
With love and compassion for your pain...Chanti
