Favorite Poem:

It’s good to feel you are close to me

It’s good to feel you are close to me in the night, love,
invisible in your sleep, intently nocturnal,
while I untangle my worries
as if they were twisted nets.

Withdrawn, your heart sails through dream,
but your body, relinquished so, breathes
seeking me without seeing me perfecting my dream
like a plant that seeds itself in the dark.

Rising, you will be that other, alive in the dawn,
but from the frontiers lost in the night,
from the presence and the absence where we meet ourselves,

something remains, drawing us into the light of life
as if the sign of the shadows had sealed
its secret creatures with flame. 

Pablo Neruda

I think it is very important that people realize what is going on in this world.  So many children and adults are abused every day and for some it never stops until tragedy is beyond repair. Drugs, alcohol and unloving people condemn children that are not able to fend for themselves. Women that are abused and afraid to leave their abuser must be taught there is hope out there for them.  I try to help these people as much as I can wherever I can and hope that I am somehow making a difference in their lives. I only wish that we could do more for them.
