I updated the forum software earlier today and unintentionally deleted a couple of posts. Sorry Lindsay and Steve Lance. It shouldn't happen again. Lindsay, I was unable to retrieve your deleted post, but Steve, I was able to retrieve yours. The content of your last post, which was unintentionally deleted is:

Of Higher Choice

We come we go
And all too fast
Before we know
Our time has passed
Unseemly haste
Drives on and on
Till life is waste
And we are gone

We come we go
But in the rush
Before we know
Forget the hush

Of higher choice

And all too fast
That inward voice
Of angels near
Is drowned and killed

Or is it we
Who fail to hear
And lose the light
Who once were free
But threw away
Our own birthright
To fully be
Ourselves today?

Unseemly haste
It seems somehow
Brings future past
And steals the now
As higher choice
Goes unchosen
Freedom frozen
Stifled and stilled

Unseemly haste
Drives on and on
Till life is waste
And we are gone

Shawn, perhaps it was something that need to go--part of the "waste" of life about which SCL writes. It gives me the opportunity to practice what I preach and say: I forgive.
