Fathers Day today and a beautiful meal out with the Sheilas.
Thanx you beautiful human daughters for the great meal and the cards I forgot to thank you for. ............ and for you listening to me bursting with emotion - telling you about the wondrous experiences I have had since we last met.



Then on to a special - so special and moving evening::
"Remembering John O'Donohue"
- a celebration of the life of the great man.


Moving so moving - I am blessed.
More words tomorrow because the words will not flow deserving of a man who's words flowed like mercury.

But I clicked these words when I first heard of his death,
specially for you - here - now::
'I want to give you a hug
full body
head to toe
long.

After yesterdays shocking news
again I am jolted.
Life is not always
and I don't want to lose you.

I believe in life eternal
but I love the life we have
don't want to lose it
don't want to lose you.

Nothing is more important
today
than grasping life today
because I don't want to lose you.

I want to be with you
drinking in the every drop
of your eye moisture
your facial expression
your body movements
laughter
gasps
intakes of breath
silences
questions
expressions
touch
because I don't want to lose you.

I don't want to lose you
and the thought of it
wakes me up early
overtaking all else
scanning the mind
scanning the soul
because I don't want to lose you.

I want to be close enough
to feel your breath
feel your pain
feel your spirit
feel your ordinary
your being
your becoming
because I don't want to lose you.

I am full of feelings
overflowing
my own feelings
and then touching yours
only part known
but I want them all
I want to be synergetic
because I don't want to lose you.

Words are not enough
but I try to express
because I don't want to lose you ......................'
