"from the Other Side of Whence It Came"

~ I was feeling the great heckler ... taunting me, torturing me in my sorrow; making me sorely depressed, angry, uncertain; lost ... and-alone, and the lot; towards my existence, and I-still-do-not-know ... nor care when, or from whence it came, nor how-through my bewilderment it still remained to form, because I am so overjoyed ... today ...that I came out non disheartened and for the better thanking God for delivering me from the spirit, of this painful utterance, awakened-from-the- seat-of-my-soul ... because a new freedom has come for me; and-found-me-well ... and so very hopeful again, and grateful; to be alive; standing-up ... boldly ... and shouting hallelujah ... on-the-other-side. ~
