cold and windy sunday my feet glide over cold demands left on the kitchen floor last night demands made denied sunday is a day of no demands I watch as my hand pours water for tea comforting movement mindless huddled on the sofa feet kept cozy under me book beside me cracked flat awaiting my pleasure I sip tea all week I wrestled with life grokking digging feeling taoing being at one with the universe thinking …thinking dammit… thinking now alone and quiet I can listen to the voice of the cold wind leave off thinking and you can bet your ass the first thing I won’t think about is you |

I can feel the cold, hard ache. I wish that "This too shall pass" had more power. - Owl |

Dear Lady...there's something about tea that says, be quiet, take time, love yourself. You're lovely, you are!  |

Kate - I've always thought that thinkers can never leave off thinking but a Sunday like yours makes me think that maybe I'm wrong. I'm going to give it a try - tea and all! |

Oh, Kate.. Such strength... beautiful strength. When logic or thoughts seem pervasive.. then serenity can return with the feelings of the soul that overcome and fuel the strength of resolve. Such lovely rendering of the beauty and strength of the soul over the mind of much over rated logic. As usual, your artful writing touches and strokes the soul nicely. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work. Write on, Lady... write on. MoonShadow . |

This is quite a read, the final line was unexpected, and snuck up and suprised me. Thank you for sharing such an enjoyable read with us. Andrew "Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards." - R.A. Heinlein. |
