Stiff

I know
you are worried
and think I have
lost my faith
I haven’t
I still
have hope
I just see
things through
new eyes
and just
remember
even egg whites
stiffen
when beaten
long enough

I sense emotion frozen cold here.  I enjoy reading your style, it appears simple, stream-of-conscious in design, but so very full a meaning.  Usually your writes lead the reader to think, "ah, I've got this one", until your punch line at the end, and we go, "wait a minute, where was that blind curve?".

A master at what you do!

You must have an Ed-scope... you keep writing little pieces of me....two days ago someone I care about commented that I seemed a little stiff....and that was the cause, though I would never have come to this way of saying it.

(smiles) And it is okay to see through new eyes, as long as we don't tuck the old corona to behind our sockets! (big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, faith is a gift for all, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Very true, spiritfully done 1slick, a thought to ponder for sure, thank you. Excellent!

They also become fluffy and luscious, in only the most delicate way...

So nice to read you again SlickLady
