Chisy: Taipan!!?! Great little news letter, THAT one, even though I haven't used them in about a year. But I made some good coinage on them in times past.
They've got some good, global roaming analysts who've been very astute in that area(based on my own global roamings). As for VLNC, well, if'n I didn't know better I'd say we've got quite a social club developing here. Heh! After all, some folks have been squabbling for well on......what.....two years now? And meanwhile VLNC keeps motoring along so clearly the squabbling amounts to nothing much. ;-) Still, it'd be nice to start hearing about some p.o.'s. Me thinks it's been frigging longg enough, don'tcha think?
But while we wait, since this is a particular holiday weekend, maybe we should reflect on it's nature(if'n you believe that is). Let me share with the "club" here a poem by German poet, Rainer Maria Rilke(1875-1926), who sums it up quite eloquently:
Mary at Peace with the Risen Lord
What they experienced then: is it not
beyond all secrets sweet,
and all still terrestrial:
when he, a little pale still from the grave,
disburdened came to her:
in all parts resurrected.
Oh, to her first. How they were both then
inexpressibly healing.
Yes, healing, just that. They did not require
to touch at all strongly.
He laid, for barely a second,
his soon to become
eternal hand on her woman's shoulder.
And they had started,
quietly as trees in the springtime,
immensely together,
this season of their
farthest-reaching communion.
Peace be to all folks!! Regards!
John~ |
