]]> Comment on SUBURBAN SANTA by Bridget McKern http://www.womenwritersnsw.org/?p=487&cpage=1#comment-54 Bridget McKern Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:13:24 +0000 http://www.womenwritersnsw.org/?p=487#comment-54 Thanks for your comment Maria Teresa. I read in our church bulletin last week the origin of St Nicholas who was Nicholas of Myra, bishop and philanthropist (d.342) I quote from this Anglican hagiography: Nicholas was a native of what is now Turkey and became Bishop of Myra in the 4th century. There are many stories of his love for God and for his neighbour. The best known story involves a man with three unmarried daughters, and not enough money to provide them with suitable dowries. This meant that they could not marry, and were likely to end up as prostitutes. Nicholas walked by the man's house on three successive nights and each time threw a bag of gold through a window. Thus, the daughters were saved from a life of shame and ended up happily married. Because of this and similar stories, Nicholas became a symbol of gift-giving, and gave rise to the tradition of Santa Claus. Others might like to comment on this story and others they may have been brought up with. I wonder what the feminist version would look like?! Thanks for your comment Maria Teresa.

A very timely message in your poem. Merry Christmas, ho ho ho ho !

I believe in what you said that "The reader will decide how to interpret the narrative....Powerful story is when the reader emotionally engages." This writing alone is a course in itself. Well done, Susanne. This is one of my favourite workshop articles.

We could all identify with the author as we all face adversities in our life but we keep moving on because of our own desire for self-preservation, because of our purpose in life, because of the love of and our love for our family, friends, community...many reasons why we hang on. I would prescribe "Happiness" which is a gift, a state of mind we could also create. Kudos to a talented writer who knows too well and must be very happy herself.

This just proves how true the saying "LOVE CONQUERS ALL" is. The author's plight should inspire us to keep going despite the harsh realities in life. Depending on how we handle it, love can make or unmake us. Congratulations on a very well-written article. More power!
