Oh, glory, Andre, I had that constant humming when I wore a hearing aid for 18 years before my Cochlear Implants. Yes, think of it as God’s voice!!!
And thank you for reading my blog about John Roedel. Isn’t he something else? Go onto his website and see more of his poems – just beautiful!
Wish you were here and I could chat to you….

Hi there, Charmaine!
Thank you for reading about this remarkable man. Yes, that is basically what John Roedel is saying: There is no answer to the WHY? What we all have to strive for is acceptance. Then we will see the joy of seeing the amazing ream of colours in a rainbow!
You must read some of his other poetry found on his website – incredible!

Erica, am so glad you had the chance to sample some of John Roedel’s work. Isn’t it uniquely wonderful! You can get his book: Hey God. Hey John on Kindle. I loved it!
There are other poems of his that are just amazing. You will find them on his website.

There are no answers only life day by day and some things are just not understood. Trying to only stirs those emotions we cannot control. But, love conquers all. Thank you again for writing about your experience

Remember them so well at that time on the farm. Seding you much love. And wishing John well. In awe of you both.

I feel so uplifted and encouraged – just when I needed it. Love you and love you sentiments and insights to life. What a parallel. I am privileged to share your stories. Darling, just one quick note – you said when reading your journals, that you were suprised at how well you wrote – well you still have that talent and you are honing it to greater heights!
PS I love the humming bit – I have just started wearing a hearing aid whose constant humming, I will now regard as |God’s voice……………..

I wasn’t expecting that – nor was I ready to take it onboard. But by the time I got to the end, I embraced it. I have an idea why I wasn’t “in the mood” but it doesn’t matter anymore. My heart has softened again and the sun has come out. And it’s just turned 9am. Today is a good day. Thank you Gaynor. Thank you John. Thank you God.
