so many words
I want to say

to you
of me
for us

a mountain of
words all true

if I say
this one
that one

the slope shifts
stays the same

Ed...Words can change things, the trick is in knowing which words, and how.

Yes... it does. *S* But one thing is certain.. whatever words you choose will be ones of beauty... and any slope always rolls right back to truth. *S*

Excellent write, my friend!

(smiles) Looks like someone has been reading some Wallace Stegner lately, hehehe! (big hugggsssssss) I love this, sweet friend, it is difficult to be cotangent ever so often but the blessing can always be perpendicular, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ed, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Actually not... Angle Of Repose is an engineering term, for the slope that a pile of some substance will eventually find...it's different for every substance of course, but every pile or mountain has one.

Ed, what has built up into a mountain, may not look so
big, once you start pulling it down....or allowing someone to.
Words can help do that......

You got me with this, words can backfire and cause disaster, or they can take you to the next level.... But the shifting is so hard to take, don't I know it!!  Seems there's gotta be a balance,   but for the life of me, I will never know where.

Nice writing Ed~
