Gracie's vision

By Gwen Plano

A few hours ago, I returned from a 2-week journey to the East Coast. During my travels, I visited a dear friend (Gracie), who is a cloistered nun, and I attended my youngest son's wedding. Both encounters were amazing.

The meeting with my friend was unlike any other that I've had with her over the 35 years we've known one another. On this visit, she relayed a vision of such extraordinary power that I was left speechless.

I don't have the words to explain her vision adequately, but I've attempted to relay it in verse. Fundamentally, she spoke of the unquenchable nature of the Creator's love -- it being all that exists. There is no hell, only our personal blindness, and love is its healing reprieve.

My humble attempt follows.

I loved it! The last line: the Creator's love blazes for all eternity" is powerful. Thank you for sharing, Gwen.

Thank you so much, Karen. Gracie is a mystic and my attempt at capturing her vision is feeble at best. I'm so pleased you liked it. ♥

This is amazing Gwen! I am glad you shared your friend's vision with us. I really felt it and needed the reminder of love blazing for eternity. It can be easy to forget and live in that darkness not connecting with that love.

Thank you, D. L. When I think of Love being all that exists, it changes how I see disappointments or whatever. Blessings to you and yours...

Powerful poetry Gwen. Your experience proves we are given all the things we need to get a glimpse of eternal love, but hide it with all the noise and clutter we gather through modern day living. It seems your friend is blessed with everything she needs and it must have been wonderful to share in that.
