Since Dominic ran ahead I collect poems, sayings and quotes that help my heart put words to what it feels.
I consider each one a gift.
This is a beautiful, traditional Jewish blessing often shared with mourners.

Thank you so much for your daily emails and wonderful words. I also collect poems, sayings and especially songs that touch my heart. I lost my son 3 1/2 years ago. The poem you shared today is one of my favourites. Since you began your ministry you are leaning towards some religious postings. I envy your steadfast believe in God. I have been looking for God and Jesus but so far I have not found Them. I wonder, in your more spiritual postings, you could talk about how to find God when belief in him is elusive. Blessings, Wendy
