Water,
the giver of Life.
Ironically,
the taker as well,
so aptly highlighted
by poet Wells,
whose pen dips
constantly into the
deepest wells of humanity,
and brings forth
a cupful of reality,
and leaves us with
a skipped heartbeat.
I've been told
skipped heartbeats are not
a sign of good health.
Ironically,
skipped heartbeats are
often necessary for our survival.
Thank you, dear poet friend,
for the cupful of reality
that made my heart skip a beat today.

(sigh) Oh Kacy, this is so very true, sweet friend, and indeed Richard can skip heartbeats just as your wonderful words do! (big hugggssssss) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, I just know Richard will always cherish these words as the well of his heart is pure and flowing with inspiration, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

So many paradox in life, water being one, certainly fire another. Both necessary for life and capable of destruction. I wish I could look away from those gloomier aspects of our existence but have never been able to. Thank you for suffering along with me.

We need those who bring the reality,
to those who would touch the stars...
it is a good mix...and keeping grounded
is just another way
of getting to know our roots...

Kacy, you did RSW an honor...
just as he honors us
with his presence.
