I guess what I really want is the truth.
The truth about peace. The truth of family.
The truth in work, time, space and politics.
I have lost my taste for illusions, I think,
and I want celebration from the heart
with or without candles.
I want work from my center
that captures and sets free inspiration
to you from me.
I want a world that makes sense
and a day that is not overfilled
I want the heart of my family, not just
their agreement or help or words.
I want the stillness inherent in all things
to join my memory again now.
I guess what I am trying to say is
I want Heaven
and I want it now.
And lest this sound churlish
and self centered I will add--
I want it for all.
About Me
- Sister Eva
- I have 48 years of stories to share: I am a mother of two daughters who constantly challenge me to be me; I am married to the first man I fell in love with (nearly 30 years ago); I own, with my partner, two businesses in the real and the virtual world; I have lived on four continents, lived across the street from a leader in the PLO, had tea with the Queen of England, met an angel in Germany, and still freak out when my 21yr old forgets to call and say she arrived safely at her destination. The truth is I am all of these things and none of them. My joy is being with those I love all of the time AND being in complete quiet with a book. My poetry is me trying to make sense of it all. What I really want to know is what we all share in common, what connects us at the core and does it hurt when we find out.
