“Look, look” but they always have known everyday mountains never can move but me, not me, I thought to fly into the air of time delays because, because, waiting somewhere the eyes of a boy not yet a man. Along the route from shallow to deep a lifetime of cars, busses, and trains, broke down on the hills, missed the corners, and landed in ditches of the ill equipped to arrive at the junction of enlightened minds. But I hastened on ~ straight ahead, through propelled by a force that nobody knew could twist outcomes according to need and wrap the loose and unaware into a womanly curl secured by the pins of love. And the boy, the boy, not yet a man; who can know by the smooth and sleek whether a curve ever can be in the straight and supposedly right waiting, waiting, waiting somewhere, for the solid and staid to veer off the page when plotting the course of fate. It’s all in the wait, the waiting to be grown up in a strange and unusual belief but the woman I am and the man you will be will one day collide at the junction of “soul” ~ and I ask, my love, will you know me and call out my name three times?

Helen, I pulled out these lines because they speak to me, too. All we can do is hope, I guess.  ....jo |

Helen I think that love knows no boundaries of time, distance or age....like the soul. |

Jo and Martie - thank you - for being here! Your feedback is always most welcome. LeeJ - You are most times right in your interpretations and this time is no exception. I never looked at it that way before but, yes, he has painted something that if not exactly beautiful is at least different ~ and then he let it go. |

Dear Honeybunch, Thanks for your writing. "To arrive at the junction of enlightened minds," was worth the reading alone. Thanks for stretching my mind this morning! BJ |
