Jim Link - 3 Years On

I Jim was the archetypal Mensch We loved writing, Greenbelt MD, Jesus II At the edge of my tears I could sit, daydream, make monuments with words The Hindu soul within my Soul Had adored weaving flowers for Jaggan Whose mom died while he was the driver Our ancestors will gladly bequeath garlands Tropical and exotic strelitzia and protea But you and I are forever in another lineage The eternal family through a lamb, Jesus

"But you and I are forever in another lineage The eternal family through a lamb, Jesus." It requires unusual grace and courage to break away from the culture and practices of ancestors. You have done that, leaving aside your Hindu lineage... and now you sculpt monuments of words for Jesus ! Great Anil....

Hi! Anil, Monuments are there to mark a time in history. We will always remember that person or that moment in time. I to enjoy reading the words on monuments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, enjoyed. When we have eternal life and are new bodies. There won't be any more monuments to put up. We will live forever. Prayers and Blessing ~ Debra
