Reflections Such a small thing, the dew upon the grass. Such a big thing, the heart’s whisper. These things need to be noticed but happen so fast, time sees to the changing by the time you’ve thought to look. Can I measure importance with my marble, roll it from beginning across the tundra of now into the future? When it returns it would be rusty and crusted with mud, then If I brushed it with the feather of my intent, the only thing I’d see coming out of the shine would be, my own reflection. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) [This message has been edited by Martie (edited 03-28-2001).] |

I do so dislike being away from your insight for a moment, let alone a day....and the memories you invoke of a little girl in overalls, overhauled with the moment of a day, making memories that won't rise under a decade or two later.... you, my friend, well, I simply have no words. You spirit them away, and all I can say, as I have said before, is... IWIHWT.... |
