Poem: 'Made Whole'

'Made Whole'

6"x 6" Pastel and Watercolour on paper

‘MADE WHOLE’

© 17/4/16 By Shiloh Moore

Thank you for your love, support, thoughts and prayers.

I know it may feel frustrating,

like your prayers for me are unsatisfied…

But I feel honoured to be thought of by you

Every thought, blessing, healing ‘vibe’ and prayer

is of immense value to me

I have accepted my circumstances and

do not pray to be healed as in ‘cured’

I pray of healing in the biblical interpretation

as in to be ‘made whole’

This prayer has been answered:

as in this moment

spiritually, emotionally, socially,

essentially

I feel at peace, of worth, valued,

deeply loved and

wholeheartedly ‘whole’

I am filled with abundant gratitude

for the love, respect, support and grace

my community has given me

I cherish that in company my presence is appreciated

and that my absence is felt

Please continue sending your love, best wishes, and prayers

I know we will get through this
Whatever the outcome,

TOGETHER

Over the past year my health struggles have been building and truthfully, quite scary. Over the past few months in particular I have not been well enough to create any new art and have been in bed most of each day, in constant excruciating pain.

With every ounce of being I have put energy into creating this calendar, with generous support from my folks and friends at greenridgepress.com.au Back in 2004 Greenridge Press also generously printed my book of autobiographical poetry, 'Stranger In The Moving Chair,' of which I still have copies for sale.

All artworks included in the calendar have been created over the past 5 years while I've been housebound - at best able to sit up for less than 4 hours throughout a day.

I am so happy to be able to spread love into the world this way and be a presence in peoples' lives even from afar.

May Peace Be With You.

'The Best Support' - 'All I Did Was Listen'

Today a poem and drawing I created when I was 16 was featured in a blog by one of my favourite artists. Her name's Rachel Awes and her blog is "All I Did Was Listen." Today's post (including my drawing and poem) is 'Listening to You' which is in a series of guest posts on Fridays, on the theme of 'Listening'.

Rachel does wonderful line drawings with colour, combined with a quote, usually something inspired by her experiences as a psychologist. She has a new book out filled with her gorgeous drawings, called 'All I did was Listen' which you can order on Etsy (click on the title for the link). I can't wait to receive my copy in the mail!

I will include for you my drawing and poem shared on her blog. It is one of the poems in my book "Stranger In The Moving Chair," self-published 2004.

'The Best Support'

"The Best Support"

The best way to help

Is to listen
>

Advice seems to pour

From those

Who insist they understand

But have never experienced it.
>

Those who help

Are those who listen
>

Those who accept

There is no magic cure

Accept they cannot instantly

Make things happily ever after
>

The best support

Is not a quick fix

But a listening ear,

No judgment,

And acceptance.
