Prior to my having
radiotherapy in 2002 I found some things quite overwhelming. However, in God I
found rest. I wrote this poem 2 months before having radiotherapy.
EXCHANGING
THE OVERWHELMING FOR REST
To laugh, to love, to
know, to understand
To have and be
sheltered, safe in His hands
To find it all here
in this small place
In times of
desperation, to see His face
I Am is Him alone
His nature at best
I offer the
overwhelming
He gives me rest

E.G.
At
the time that I wrote this blog, in September 2002, I signed off everything I
wrote and painted with ‘E.G.’. This was an abbreviation for Eternal Gratitude
which was what I felt and hoped I would always feel.
