Beautiful, compassionate, and truly touched by light. Take care. Kind wishes, Sandra
Thank you for this poem Ben. I enjoyed it very much. It is full of concern for the suffering of humanity, and the desire to help, and not just about a personal struggle. May I please have your permission to read it to a small contemplative group I am in? We have a theme on The Tower we are exploring on June 22. Thank you.
