I apprecia...Thanks all for your wonderful comments. I appreciate them and you.<BR/><BR/>Bernadette...hello and welcome back. <BR/><BR/>This poem, like most, can be taken in various ways. There is a VERY positive way to read this poem, if one sees the depths as an essential part of who we are and only there can we find truly who we are for both the good and the bad. The soul is about more than what is good. We forget that side of it. <BR/><BR/>Truthfully, we are better at times not to judge such things, epecially when we enter our depths. (This is a note to myself). There we discover there is nothing left to life to judge. <BR/><BR/>This is all personal commentary on where this poem walked into my life and why. <BR/><BR/>Hope you are well.<BR/><BR/>Pat, you are so right aboutn gold and about us. <BR/><BR/>Borut..so much truth packed into Issa.

It was meant for the one just below of March 06, 2007. <BR/><BR/>And now it does stand over there. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, that being said and having read this poem, then I can not but gratulate you Don on this very beautiful one, life in a nutshell so to speak. <BR/><BR/>But why so pessimistic, referring to the life that starts and ends in these deep places? Is life not rather something optimistic, something from above rather than from the deep? <BR/><BR/>After all, when you do away with everything that can overcome us regarding hardship, then so many opportunities do lay around the corner, even in front of us to lessen the hardship, creating a better world for everyone, the depth of our life, our heart, but still a guidance from above where it all began and never will end within us all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157382910982192568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404478.post-29441830561765869332007-03-07T10:53:00.000-05:002007-03-07T10:53:00.000-05:00Muy excellente, Brother Don!Muy excellente, Brother Don!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744423069765018278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404478.post-76242579090582000952007-03-07T09:20:00.000-05:002007-03-07T09:20:00.000-05:00Great one Don!I love your lines....Plunb these dep...Great one Don!<BR/>I love your lines....<BR/><I>Plunb these depths<BR/>but carefulluy.<BR/>And never forget<BR/>they are there<BR/>because your life starts<BR/>and ends in these deep places.</I>Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433759763753850718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404478.post-36839134359732773982007-03-07T09:02:00.000-05:002007-03-07T09:02:00.000-05:00Gold is purified in fire, why should we be less......Gold is purified in fire, why should we be less...Pat Paulkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673667238840127360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404478.post-42529553066351313192007-03-07T08:56:00.000-05:002007-03-07T08:56:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18157382910982192568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5404478.post-2271044085425820502007-03-07T07:58:00.000-05:002007-03-07T07:58:00.000-05:00Deeply meditative!
