VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Choosing Courage

Choosing Courage

Turn me toward the light.
Uncover the choices that flourish
When I relinquish my yesterdays.

Turn me toward the light.
Unveil the hopes that grow
When I face my realities.

Turn me toward today.
Turn me to a vision of possibilities,
That denies apprehensions.

Turn me toward today.
Turn me to this moment of extension,
That opens old constrictions.

Before me You place iridescence
To soften brittle sorrows.
Let me rest on the cushion of Your care,
Comforted by Your regard.

Beside me You heap soft pillows
To ease ancient grief.
Bolster my courage with Your kindness
As You support my head.

Stretch the stiff limbs of my confusion,
And let me rise, renewed,
To turn into Your light.

~Debbie Perlman
