Glimpses of heaven

A spectacular autumn day in every way - makes you want to shout hallelujah. I am totally humbled in the wonder and awe of God's presence - to think what is yet for me to see!

Eve's Red Dress

O.K. I'll admit to being a bookalholic with very eclectic tastes. I just finished reading a book of poetry by a NJ poet, Diane Lockward. Her book, Eve's Red Dress is a phenomenal testament to the inner spirit and soul of women. These poems lingered and haunted. And even though I was never an English major, isn't that what good poetry is suppose to do? Lockward grabs at you from the first page. Go to Amazon's website and read the first poem in this book - you will get that "gotcha" feeling! Here's the opening stanza from the first poem, "Eve Argues Against Perfection":

Beguiled, my ass. I said no such thing.
You say I lost the gift of Paradise.
I couldn't lose what I never had.

Oh yeah, "GOTCHA!"
