Elaine does me the honor of using my post about the value of emptiness as a springboard into explorations far beyond anything I was capable of perceiving when I wrote the post.

Her depth of insight and willingness to share the lessons of her own personal struggles are indeed gifts to the blogging world. An excerpt from her own poem about the pain of a divorce:

and the pain of my knowing
that my only way out
is through you"
