It is so whole. I can't think how else to describe it. I love the length and breadth of it. Such a satisfying read. I shall have to get myself some of her work.

I hope you're feeling better. Blessings!<br /><br />Kelly, you're such a good sport! I appreciate you, I really do. Blessings!<br /><br />Janelle, it was an amazing biography, wasn't it? Blessings!<br /><br />Annie, I wish I still had that amazing memory. I find myself recalling snippets of the strangest things. I can quote entire chapters of the Bible, mostly from Psalms. I guess memorizing words I love is a kind of therapy. I'm still working on "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot. I put the poem on note cards and carry them around with me and when I'm somewhere I have to wait, I practice. And (don't tell anyone this, okay) I have that Eliot poem on my little MP3 player with the author reading it. I warned y'all I was hardcore! LOL! Love & Blessings back to you, my friend. xoxo<br /><br />Sue, it is a long poem, but I love the flow of it. Blessings!<br /><br />Phoenix, thank you. I do hope you're feeling better and that the sun is shining inside your head. :-) Love & Blessings, my enlightened friend.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4356162479428337180.post-24770863750471755322010-04-29T14:19:33.750-05:002010-04-29T14:19:33.750-05:00Beautiful.
