Fingertips glide gently over cheekbones and nose, then across a smile, without beguile. For it’s in the touch you shall know me, round a chin of determination, down shoulders of strength and resolve, across majestic mountains of anticipation to the vibrant valley where dreams come true. Touch... is where two yearning hearts meet, one-on-one in love so sweet it tingles heart and feet, curls toes, as the scent of Love excites the nose. Two become one, within love's sweet touch. |

from 2001... I have so little memory of that year. (Even less than usual.) "a chin of determination" *smiling and touching the screen* I have one of those. (er...two?) But if someone had told me that year, that I would live through it, I'd have denied it. You're an inspiration, kindheart kacy. Love you.  |

Thanks, Bobby. I was living in Alaska, and K, that was indeed a tough year. I had just joined Pips before the 9-11 towers tragedy happened. The board was moving so fast, anything we wrote disappeared in seconds! |

Ooooo this is very special. My Father was blind and he once said, the best picture he had of me was when we hugged one another. Touch is quite a powerful, sensitive, gentle emotion in itself. Thanks for this gift of words, Kacy~ |

Beautiful 'touch' midnite. 2001 was a good year. At least in my world. |

I am delighted by all these wonderful replies. Tim, a songwriter friend of mine years ago wrote/sang this wonderful line I'll never forget: "talk is such a waste of time when touch is all it takes to make us warm" |

You know I love your Nature writes. Your own natural instincts are in fine poetic form with this one, I see! Excellent!!!  Linda |
