Losing someone close is always hard, and, at Christmas, so much more.<BR/><BR/>I see from your post <A HREF="http://toddswift.blogspot.com/2008/11/poetry-and-religion.html" REL="nofollow">http://toddswift.blogspot.com/2008/11/poetry-and-religion.html</A> that you are a man who wonders about the mystery of what may be out beyond. And you note well poetry is the standard of faith.<BR/><BR/>"One day, the poet who seeks a new religion may find an old faith waiting for him, where his journey began."<BR/><BR/>I am not among the atheist poets. If you also are not, remember the god who saves you. And, try CS Lewis' processing of his wife's death with his own faith in "A Grief Observed."<BR/><BR/>To quote poet John Donne, "As he that fears God fears nothing else, so, he that sees God sees everything else."Brockeimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028574688726939278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726943.post-82670048805484430852008-12-28T18:55:00.000+00:002008-12-28T18:55:00.000+00:00Sorry to hear that, Todd...Sorry to hear that, Todd...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280161801824435219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13726943.post-63708838000647780282008-12-28T18:04:00.000+00:002008-12-28T18:04:00.000+00:00So sorry to read of this.
