[stylist] Amazing poem

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

Barbara,

I think you're taking it too literally, and is not God's creation holy?
Should we not view what He created- nature, cosmos, people, etc.- as
holy? I don't understand why this would be distracting because, once
again, no matter personal beliefs, if you believe in the Christian God,
would you not view the entire world as holy? Due to my background and
experience, I've had the opportunity to not only study numerous
Christian denominations, but experience them first-hand. Pretty much
across the board, God's creation, all of it, is considered holy. It's an
extension of Him, as are humans, though we're flawed and imperfect, but
as a creation created by God, the idea of us is holy.

Sincerely,
Bridgit Kuenning-Pollpeter

You are right but it would have been a perfectly good poem without the
part 
about what he thought was holy.  To me that kind of detracted from the
grand 
picture of when love ends here we'll go into space as stars or comets.
I 
did love that part of the poem.
Although I do understand if one finds the part about what he thinks as
holy 
very intense, it was like the storm finally breaking.
