Tues-Wed-Thursday with Louise There is a book I haven’t read, although my daughter gave it to her father, when it chanced that tonight I might experience an upwind upon a movie… but that was after this morning when you, my dear friend came upon me suddenly, and no, not in a dream but full force, early morning, smiling, your lovely long brown hair gracefully curving around those wide cheekbones… You were here, long enough for me to know that there was something I needed to grasp. Last night was the 3rd Tuesday of April – I missed poetry night at Mokas once again… not by choice, but by need - to regain momentum for work; then this morning you appeared, and tonight, when I pondered upon your earlier appearance, there it was, ”Tuesdays with Morrie” and I understood… and I watched it, for the first time. I saw, my friend, what you wouldn’t say, in Morrie’s words…and what better character to betray life lived well….all of that which you knew I would find in time…via a nudge… Continue on, my friend. Continue showing me those slender fingers in a night’s sky, writing upon stars, letting me know you will always be a guide. I’ll watch as you and Morrie…dance I love you… ~*~ © krj 4-20-11 [This message has been edited by Sunshine (04-21-2011 09:04 AM).] |

Much too much to gather into myself. This poem was speaking to another, and I felt as though I was eavesdropping. I fell that way, but I could not stop reading your passionate and final thoughts as Morrie danced with your. ~ Don't insult the alligator till after you cross the river. ~ |

SunK, You always give a new perspective to things, and make me think in a way I wouldn't have without your help. I noticed that movie was on tonight, and I considered watching it as well..for the first time... Just commented on another piece about hindsight.. I'm kind of regretting not being able to sit still for a movie now. Thanks for sharing this with me, and all of us. Meg/Kaoru |

Jerry, such conversations are not always meant to be overheard, but when friends come along, then it's 'welcome, sit, have coffee, tea or wine with us...sit, listen, know...' you're welcome... Meg...my dear girl...I don't know that my experiences are new, but I am always grateful that Ron leaves us room to share them in a way I never in my life could have imagined....I'm so grateful that you are in my life...and have come back to share...  baby....Lori...you knew her magic, honey...how can we not share her? Bluesie...I still need to read the book...but Louise's appearance that morning meant I had to look for signs....she's so pushy!  Thank you all! |

Sissie....I may have to read Tuesdays with Morrie again. I remember the feeling I had when I read it, but not what it was about really. Your time then and now with Louise is that way, about the feeling. Hug her for me next time you see her. |

Though I know nothing about the book or the movie I got the beautiful message of your love-filled poem, dear Karilea. Those hints and nudges from beyond are so precious. Thank you for sharing this. Love, Margherita |
