REPLAY 27 August 2011 Do you remember those magical high days and holidays we spent together hiking in the foothills of the mountains leaning on and learning each other’s hearts by heart and when the sun got really hot we would take off our shoes and dip our feet in a gurgling mountain stream we found just at the right moment and then we would find a tree, offering a patch of shade and we would sit down under it and lean against it’s bark, sometimes rough with deep grooves, sometimes smooth, and, before we wended our way back down the open path that wound around the foothills, I would look up into your face wanting to thank you for the gift of you, but my words dissipated as you imbibed the core of them firsthand and, like so many time before and since, I melted into your strong, protective arms at the fire of your kiss? Do you? Remember? Do you still feel me warm and lithe in your arms? Do you? Owl |

but my words dissipated as you imbibed the core of them firsthand Magical moment, magically rendered, dear Owl! Such feelings produce a great amount of vibrating love energy which disperses in the cosmos, creating oasis of beauty in the vast void, where it resists oblivion. Love, Margherita |

Thank you, Margherita. Smiles. It is better to remember with happiness than regret with bitterness. Thank you, Jimmy. Don’t sell yourself short. You are quite the wordsmith yourself! Thank you, Ruth, for your very kind words and for enjoying my memories. Smiles. Owl |
