A Jewel Shining Through


I thought I would google my blogging name just for fun and found it in a poem, which is a little spooky as it was a phrase that just came into my brain one day, out of the blue. Very spooky. The poem was written by L M Montgomery who also wrote Anne of Green Gables amongst other things...


THE POET'S THOUGHT

IT came to him in rainbow dreams,
Blent with the wisdom of the sages,
Of spirit and of passion born;
In words as lucent as the morn
He prisoned it, and now it gleams
A jewel shining through the ages.

I liked my blog name as it reflected that despite depression there was still something worthwhile about me - the jewel shining through despite the knocks etc. Having now found this, my blog name seems very appropriate, at least I think...
