I find when I am struggling with any issue in my life that along with your writings and looking within I find that place where all the answers are held and know that when I don't hold back from living my life fully, that is where there is no struggle.<br /><br />Tony L Limerick IrelandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-40973171572085521692011-03-02T20:17:45.325-05:002011-03-02T20:17:45.325-05:00What a beautiful, sensual poem.

I love your books, but I absolutel...Dearest Oriah,<br /><br />I love your books, but I absolutely adore and treasure your poems.<br />You are my female Rumi. With your poems you touch something in me so very deeply and all I can say is "Yeah, absolutely, she nailed it, she expressed what cannot be expressed, only felt deeply".<br />Your poems are like a raw rare huge diamond which has not yet been treated by the hand of man. They are a blessing straight from God. They are like a prayer, they give meaning to the meaningless, they give hope and ecouragement to go on when there is no reason left to go on. They are pure love, purely divine. They sustain me when nothing else does and can. They have been my lifeline as long as I can remember. Your poems are undescribable awesome loving art. If God could paint your poems would be the result on the canvas. They are a rare beauty not of this world.<br />Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing those poems, for being who you are, for living who you are.<br />I pray that one day you publish your collections of poems, it will be a dream come true, it will be my most treasured Oriah book.<br /><br />Lots of Love, a warm Hug and tons of Blessings,<br />SabineSabinehttp://www.walking-with-angels.denoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-88781533902504238222011-02-24T10:55:55.481-05:002011-02-24T10:55:55.481-05:00Hi OMD

I imagine this comes through the savoring and opening fully to that anticipation.

You've captured this so beautifully, Oriah.
