    message from margaret :

    Thank you to all of you for participating in this contest to examine the tension between sceptics and mystics. Each is sure his position is the right one, and no argument of the other side holds water. Some of these poems were amusing and all of them were enjoyable and addressed the question. Thanks to you, Marion, for initiating the contest.


    message from marion :

    I loved each one of your poems ...
    they are true gems, precious pointers that help us integrate the multiple facets of the diamond of truth ...
    it was a great joy and honor for me to cohost this contest with my dear friend margaret ...

    much love to all

    Nightingale said to Raven:
    There is no beauty in your song.

    There is no wisdom in yours.

    Thank you sweet ladies for the honor of the bronze prize for my recycled words. I know it didn't quite touch on the dichotomy of sceptic vs mystic, so the honor is doubled. Thank you for the challenge you provided.

    Be blessed and ever the bright lights you are,

    Rahad
