Is this a positive poem I sense? x)
But what good is positivity if you can't
throw in a little sarcasm?
Beautiful as always-my favorite line
is the title line.

This is beautiful! So many wonderful phrases. You've really got a gift!

I really admire the way you combined science and religion into a poem to create harmony between two clashing forces. I have to admit that I did have to look a few of the words up, yet that doesn't stop this poem from being beautiful. I also want to say the concept of this piece was fabulous and the way you described it, particularly in the last stanza, was just as fantastic too. "But now I no longer feel like praying the chromosomes like rosary beads,instead I acknowledge that each gene should be loved unvaryingly" - That has to be the best part of the poem, in my opinion. Bravo.

Hmm...interesting, Anna, interesting. To embrace who you are is important. Excellent work!

There's something about acknowledging the past and then letting go in this poem that I like a great deal. Am I right in thinking that there is also something about letting go of someone else's past that keeps trying to control your now?

Keep writing Anna your a fav of mine with your novel and enlightening comparisons.

If I understand this correctly, it is the most astonishing and beautiful exposure of the apprehension of conception that I've ever encountered. Even if I'm wrong, it is still astonishingly beautiful.
