Be as the lotus.

Of water, but not submerged.

Quietly detached.

LOL, I've been electronically detached. HAHA.
Vacation, moving, and unable to re-connect via DSL yet due to layers and layers of 'new technology' at my new residence.
In other words, I can only surf via slow dialup for now 'till the overpaid techie gets back here to figure out why the broadband connection doesn't work.
Thanks for spending a moment with me, I've missed you, Ed!

Kaoru, thanks, the lotus really is lovely.

Kielo, LOL, guess we all sink, swim or float depending upon the moment.

Mark, OM, thank you!
