Hi Bob,

I think you know Skip or Skipper from Syz. I could go and pull all of his posts, but fortunately for me, I have a near photographic memory so I don't need to.

Canie, I don't think what you said could have been said more eloquently. Yes, that still silent voice within, it never fails.

In life we could all say some thing or another fails to exist. No one has dreams that mean anything, the holocaust never happened, there was no gualog arcapeligo. If Jesus were here with us today he would be labeled a warlock, a fanatic, a lunatic.

There is so much that belies the magic and wonder of the world, but most of that is the wonder of the differences in people's perspective. Life without my special gifts would be empty, for those who don't have them, they don't feel the need. Today is a day in spring, my miniture roses are beginning to bloom and I thank God and his nature spirits for the boundy of the newness that is upon the earth. For this I make time.

I cannot prove to a skeptic what I sense or feel exists, but its not important that I do so. To say that it does exist is a fact supported by millions around the world, I'm not alone. I also cannot prove that God exists, just that I know he does for me, I've seen him and in my eyes I saw all the love and knowledge one can have. Tenderness, caring and knowing he does his best for all of us, believers or not.

I close my day with a simply prayer most of the time and I ask that I be shown, the light, the truth and the way. With these three, I see what truly is, the good the bad and the ugly. But in that there is reason to hope, reason to ask to be guided and the positive sense that I to may walk the mission I have in my life to its full conclusion.

Out on a limb and loving it....Petra
