What do we NOT need to understand?
The Saturday Spark
Tell us: What is one thing you try very hard to understand, but perhaps don’t need to?
Got yours?
This week’s featured title from my store is For the Sake of One We Love and Are Losing: A Meditative Poem & Journal ($18.95, before Rafter discount; also available as condolence card).
This poem will help you say what you want to say when someone you love is dying or has passed away.
Read this poem for solace. Share it during gatherings of farewell and remembrance. Save it as a keepsake, attaching photographs, jotting down memories and reflections. Offer it as a gift of compassion. However you choose to use it, may it bring you consolation.
This beautiful special edition book ($18.95; 84 pp., dimensions 5.5.” x 8″) was released by Bell Sound Books in May, 2020. It is available for order only at my website. All copies are signed. Personalized inscriptions upon request.
Give it a read. Then share with a friend.
Remember to enter your Rafter discount (“rafter25”) at checkout to receive 25% off your order.

Grateful, grateful!
My heartfelt thanks to these folks for their recent gifts in support of The Raft: Marie Jerge, Jari Thymian, and theeggaandi.
Whew! That's all for now. Stay well. Stay witty. Stay tuned into your true spot and create from your radiant, beautiful self.
Some things can only be understood by us with our heart, not reason (to paraphrase Camus).
