Ruminations (part 5) "I was dead and now I am alive. I was in tears and now I am laughing. The power of love swept over my soul and now I am that eternal power." ~~~~~~~~Rumi Such is the power of love that it can take hold of and remake the grieving soul. But this power comes not from outside - it comes forth from within. Each of us is the fountainhead - the source of love's flowing stream. Only by freely extending our hand and proffering our own love can it rebound to fulfill us. Only by opening our own hearts to accept whatever comes our way~ be it joyful or a source of sorrow~ can we ever hope to be complete. Eagerly feel the flow of love, it comes through us from God above. 12/31/2001Ok. I lied. I found another one to end the year on (grin).
