To Mourn to mourn is to more than miss it is a renting of the heart a scratching of the soul a rendering of tears a portion of whole a severing of hours a scattering of petals along a path that once held tranquility and now holds an affliction that gnaws and claws within the marrow of we who remain it is a stain that strives to become an image of commemoration, an exhalation of a life celebrated for its touch, its legacy ©December 19, 2004 Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Excellent - yes - you've defined it well -  SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |
