Snippets Crew Members ~Haim and Lisa ~ Thank you both so much for ALL YOU DO for our Gather Group. You both are very introspective writers, who educate us with your beautifully mastered words ~ of "30" words or less I might add ~ ahahah!
You are the best example of a friend, and I thank you for your understanding of my little poem for you..Your post is very thoghtful, and very wise..One to think about. My thanks, and here is a hug, friend of mine. Ellen B
Understanding is so integral to humankind, but many lack it. Sometimes, I, myself have had lapses, but I guess in certain circumstances we all find ourselves there.
You are an awesome writer, and your in depth coverage of the underlying emotions and feelings in relation to your writings helps many writers here on Gather.
Saying that to say that your words here in the above comment showcase the simplicity of how well you bring across a point in few words . . .
"Understanding is so integral to humankind, but many lack it. Sometimes, I, myself have had lapses, but I guess in certain circumstances we all find ourselves there." ~ Jennifer N.
Rene, I don't often bring across a point so simply, trust me. I just wrote what was in my heart after reading this and there it was.
I don't know that any of my writings help anyone here, but if they do, then it's a reason to keep submitting them. I do often have deep emotional connections to my characters - especially Valerie, who I feel is more alive than any of my other characters.
It seems with each novel the characters are stronger and stronger.
I just formatted it and linked it to here and sent it into Snippets...
Hey Jen ~ I'm glad that you did that piece on The Place of UNDERSTANDING ~ it was very well written. Your writings definitely do help a lot of writers, there is no doubt about that...
You connection with your characters is what makes your writings so strong in emotional content. The Readers can connect with your characters, because you first connect with them yourself. Thank you for sending it to Snippets! ~ You are a large part of the Snippets Crew, and you help to make Snippets the wonderful "30" words or less writing Group that it is.
Very deep, Rene. I think we all seek to understand at some point, once we get past the thoughts of thinking we know everything ;) All kidding aside...personally and in my opinion, I think we all seek to understand, seek to know the unknown, seek wisdom; but I think true understanding is a process...a process of letting go, a process of believing in ourselves, a process of finding spirituality, a process of being human.......
Hey ~ Hey ~ THANKS Jan ~ I just finished reading your WILD ADVENTURE! It is FEATURED in here NOW! ~ TOO FUNNY ~ Only ~ you could write it like that!. . . hahahahh!
You've provided us with much to ponder on Robert. I like the second stanza the BEST ~ WHY? Because it is a perfect "29" GOD'S~INTRUSION~Style Snippet! ~ LOVE IT . . . it is NOTEWORTHY:

"Love this image! It's origins? Medium?" ~ Kelly T.
I love this image too. This artwork is entitled "Wisdom Pearl" by Richard A. Waters
I use images and imagery, as well as photography and Fine Art to invoke C R E A T I V I T Y, as well as to stirl up the "gift" within...
This artwork by Richard Waters will stir up the "gift" in any creative soul ~ without question.

Who recognizes its energy, thus can find it as it moves more deeply into the Light of Knowledge, as one matures and grows spiritually?
Oh Tanya ~ I can always count on you to add more depth to any writings with a spark of light. BRAVO!
... and thank you for VIEWING and COMMENTING.
The most basic - and intriguing - question of the universe in a sprite little snippet? WOW!

There is no time for assuming wrong ideasAs we hurriedly travel from here to there
Lost in our present void we search for right
Full knowing the impossible - we're lost in the night
Forever beckoning from beyond the star field
Is our Lord, our guide, providing the trail
Often times, and with much open confusion,
We tend to overlook God's righteous intrusion
We can do it all for our selves - we selfishly know it
But once - hopelessly lost - we get riled and throw a fit
To what end, then, are we all justified
Better off without, or with God by our side?
Robert ~Masterful Snippets Crew Member that you are ~ Thank you for your opening line in your comment ~ L O L.
