(Unable to make the fonts uniform. Oh well.)
I've been away at Facebook, not posting much here. Now I am choosing to return here. In a few weeks, I will have been posting here for 10 years. That's a substantial part of my life. When I began to blog, I was at a turning point in my life, stuck, haunted, needing to move forward. I'm grateful for the community I have found through blogging. I'm grateful for this place where I can post my art work, my poetry, the music I love, memories, dreams, photographs, and all that gives life meaning. I've come a long way since 2006 and learned so much from you, my blog friends.
As you know, I don't call myself a Christian or anything else, but this came from a Christian source (plough.com), and I found it to be enlightening regarding the life of Che Guevara:
"What exactly was the heart of Che’s vision, that it still animates young people around the world? His words on the revolutionary power of love hint at one answer. So, perhaps, does a poem found in his backpack after his death:
Christ, I love you,
not because you descended from a star,
but because you revealed to me
man’s tears and anguish;
showed me the keys that open
the closed doors of light.
Yes, you taught me that man is God,
a poor God crucified like you.
The one at your left,
at Golgotha – the worst thief –
he, too, is God.
not because you descended from a star,

León Felipe"For some reason, it reminded me of something Leonard Cohen wrote about Jesus: "He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone."
