Once again d-pend, you show such great capacity to feel and express. I am deeply touched by such deep ability to connect with your inner being. Your picture and poem gave me such a moment of feelings that can't be expressed. You have so much inside of you and I feel your need to bring all these emotions and experiences to the surface. I really hope you do. Your other article talked about nature. We can all learn so much from nature's ability to create, let go of the old, and then move forward and create again. You are really a very gifted person! On a side note, today I posted something that gave me great happiness. The article was about the old days when I was growing up. Those days were simpler and happier for me. I can't write poems like you, but I can remember wonderful moments. We should both do things that make us happy and whole.....Cabbagepatch!
