Sometimes I feel that Carol, nine Sprang back to life inside me, here; she lounges back on her tree-limb (tan and thin, incessant why?) demanding: “Imagine – dream! – dare all; live no half-life; feel and taste the moment; explore just ‘round the farthest bend and as you go look to see the way your moving feet disturb the grasses; seek some small flower or admire the beauty of the grass, itself (parallel converging lines, green to green as yet unnamed; a point no sword could match for fineness – and on my tongue, the tiny textured barbs oriented once to earth – the taste? Greener.) Older, now, I’ve fallen and learned fear my steps are careful, remembering in their caution what it meant to fall… Our task – our joy! may be to try to see what we once saw Our challenge – knowing fear, we learn to walk despite it. |

Oh, I like this one!! Wonderful vision of life as it was so long ago. There is nothing like looking at the word with the eyes of a child. Truly amazing. Welcome to Passions!! I look forward to reading more of your work.  All writing comes |

The images you paint are fabulous. You've framed out a state of mind that I regularly struggle to achieve, and also, the one in which I fear. Well written. You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep. -- Navajo Proverb |
