(1) A Friendship Bridge Comments

Sandra, it's an outstanding piece... accurate and to the point

One of if not the most talented Poetesses that shared her work on this site. Her passing was a loss to this site and for me a personal loss as Sandra was as good of a friend as she was an extraordinary wordsmith.~FjR~

beautiful poetic feelings... exquisetly expressed.... a message, in a format and language that transcends boundaries and barriers... great lines... loaded with the weight of time and the beauty of what couldd be. cheers

The east is so rich in ways that we in the west have to fight for. thanks for this universal sentiment and kind regards, john

Your endeavors to build a friendship bridge from west to east are really admirable! I am a newcomer to this site. I just had a glance through your poems and was highly impressed. In course of time I will take time to read more of them. Meanwhile I would like you to know that a selection of my poems too has been posted on this site. I would request you to kindly visit the same, at your convenience, and give me your valuable comments on some of them.

A GREAT POEM SANDRA! I WISH I HAD READ THAT MAGAZINE 'OCARINA'! WHERE WAS IT PUBLISHED? FOR THIS POEM 10+++ -Raj

I also love the fruitful teachings through your awesome poems, dearest Sandra. This is beautiful, and, actually, 'your world class mind inspires me every day'. May your blessed mind keep creating further and further journeys like the above one. Warmest reagrds, Maria

One day I was sitting in my garden I looked up and you were there. I wondered how. So it was on the friendship bridge you arrived. No matter how you got here dear Bodhi Sattva that you are here is what makes my soul sing. Love Always Paddy

THE POET HAS NO BARRIER, ALL BECOME HIS ADMIRER. YOU HAVE LEARNT TAGORE'S TEACHING, FOR YOU I HAVE A FEELING. TAGORE HAS UNIVERSAL NATIONHOOD, HE LEFT HIS CREATION FOR GOOD. HIS TEACHING GIVES YOU ENJOYMENT, IT'S YOUR GREAT ACHIVEMENT.

Eternity in the rosary beeds bound A thread through them in poetry found; Poets not bound by time and place Universal brotherhood in them blaze. Shakespeare to Ganhi sang songs of the soul, You build bridges to weave them into whole. CP

What can I say, you're always word perfect. A diplomat.

beautiful one indeed ma'am.. hey this is a beautiful one! ! ! .. as always.. nice to read the works of a great beautiful person indeed.. with love shan

Hey sandra This is an amzing piece with wonderful msg and intent. Pls read my poem called (the bridges we built) ...shall be grateful for your comments.

a beautiful piece..if all people in the world have an idea like this..PEACE and NO WAR goodwill to men..naizz

There is no better way to build understanding than having a friendship bridge crossing borders, communication and respect is needed to make things happen. Art goes beyond country, religion, race and colour Your poem shows the way as it positivity shines with peace and love...Cindy.

sandraji, i don't know whether you know about east-west university founded by nataraja guru, friend and philosopher of tagore. nataraja guru is from my place, a man who never believed in the frontiers separated world as different countries. he was a universal citizen. the university still exists as a true bond between eastern and western thoughts... nataraja guru says: life is constant purge....if everybody follows this, how beautiful the world would have been!

a truly an inspiring write Sandra..I know that Friendship Bridge will always be there forever. I love this..So gentle and the flow of words are just lovely Hugs from here, meggie

a wonderful unity is experianced within these words.Aum...Amen.....John

what agreat teacher tagore is even today..i read his 'gitanjali' in my teens..a universal poet...there was another tamil saint poet 'THIRUVALLUVAR'...not a mention of religion or nationality in his work...this bridge is of utmost importance in todays scenario..i have written two poems 'the debate' and 'the brahmin's chair' involving tagore and gandhi....thank you for this lovely initiative mam

What a beautiful poem Sandra, your friendship bridge reminds me of how I think we send out threads of friendship that bond souls together unknowingly to keep forever with us whilst treading the earth. Wondrous poem. HG: -) xx
