Beautiful poem. Out of the darkness much comes...your repetition of lines used to initially annoy me. Now I find it’s emphasis interesting and helpful.
Your talk with Thomas Hubl was for me like an interestingly woven fabric. The type of discussion one would wish to have more in every day life.
Thankyou
