question in general
Posted August 4th, 2015 by Anneke
Dear Gloria,
I have a question in general.
In past heavenletters the word sun was always with capital S (Sun) and now it is mostly written as sun.
Sun was always with capital like Earth, Heaven and so on.
In heavenletter 5386 Moon is written with a capital and sun is not, in the whole heavenletter sun is not written as I was used to see: Sun.
(this is in many more heavenletters the last couple of weeks)
Should this be changed?
Thanks a lot,
namaste,
Anneke
Beloved Anneke, in this
Beloved Anneke, in this specific Heavenletter, I made the changes you suggest. You are absolutely correct.
Right now you could be pulling up a shade and looking out a window. Right now you could be watching the Sun rise, or you could be watching the Sun set and Stars come out and a perfect circle of the Moon and the Glory of God sparkling in the Sky.
There is an inconsistency in this special capitalization over the years. Choosing to capitalize has not been a science for me. Much more on the feeling level. Not only must there be capitalizationthat I mistakenly missed as in this Heavenletter, I'm quite sure capital letters were much less frequent or possibly even non-existent in the early Heavenletters, possibly for years. There could be hundreds of Heavenletters that are lacking this choice.
Are you familiar with the poet Emily Dickinson? She capitalized nouns a lot. She may have had a perfect consistency. Definitely, there is something poetic about the capitalizations.
At one time God was quite clear when He wanted capital letters. Now He seems to leave it up to me. More important than the perfection we all desire is getting Heavenletters written down. As one person, sometimes I have to weigh what is more important to do and what I just can't take care of right now.
Please don't hesitate to point these out to me again if you would like. when you see an omission like this, would you take out the specific passages and make the capitalization right as you see it and send a batch of those you've fixed and send to me? At the beginning, I would look them over. Then when we are as one in the whole picture, I would leave this editing to you. And, of course, when you are uncertain, check again.
If for current yet unpublished Heavenletters, of course, send just as you come across them if you would like to.
Bless you, Anneke.
Dear Anneke, everything concerning Heavenletters is significant and important. The absolute priority is writing down Heavenletters.
That's okay with me
Dear Gloria,
that's okay with me. When I see something like this I will let you know.
Sometimes it is fine to write it without capital and we know what is meant by sun....
But I noticed it, and that's why I asked.
I'm not familiar with English poets....some Dutch....but not many.....
from heart to heart, namasté, Anneke
Poet: Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886
Dear Anneke,
Emily Dickinson wrote poems about Death, such as the following, and also poems about a little bug and so forth, and each poem of hers was so simple-seeming and so deep.
She capitalized nouns and also used dashes, Anneke.
Emily Dickinson was never published in her lifetime. She never attempted to have her work published. She lived in Massachusetts, very near to where I was born. She is referred to as a New England poet.
Here is a poem of Emily Dickinson's:
Because I Could Not Stop for Death
Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.
We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –
We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
We passed the Setting Sun –
Or rather – He passed us –
The Dews drew quivering and chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle –
We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground –
The Roof was scarcely visible –
The Cornice – in the Ground –
Since then – ‘tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses’ Heads
Were toward Eternity –
thank you for the poem and I send you one written by Paul
Dear Gloria,
thank you for the poem...
This one is written today by Paul, the son of my niece
While time passes slow
a new dawn comes along,
birds trying a new song
I envy the sun's burnin' glow
'Cause there's no right or wrong,
just the mornin's steady flow
and nights on its hasty go;
I envy a nature so strong
that people do not stand a chance
to look upon this mighty dance
in which I'm lost at the first glance.
So pity me for getting up early each day,
there's only one thing left for me to say:
this morning world; here my love will stay.

I see that poetry is within
I see that poetry is within your family!
So Paul is your grand-nephew. And he can share his poetry with you. That says a lot, Anneke.
