Allowance asks a heavy price from disapproval for the bank has been depleted o’er the years of knowing best and the earn of points to let it be a most difficult endeavour in this economic climate. But disapproval works its way through a forest of insight and rests beneath an aged tree to re-asses the feel till finally the move begins towards another state. And that state is one of willingness to drape allowance like a cloak o’er the knowing best and to simply allow the humanness of humankind to flourish or flounder according to the programme. ‘tis only when the programme fails and minds begin to stir that the knowing best emerges from a lifelong cocoon and I’m there in the flutter touching, whispering, and begging, pleading, needing, your complete escape. But I know to just allow until time begets another time and butterflies are butterflies! Helen / 1 April 2009 |

Yes they are Helen and we can all learn to look at it that way. This is a stimulating evocative poetic expression of the limits of change. Good work! Eric |

Thank you all so much for your comments. There's so much to learn about this state of being human and I wish I had had someone "touching, whispering" a bit earlier on in my life. It might have made a difference but then again I do know that teachers only appear when one is ready for them. Love Helen |

Helen, This was exceptionally good. What insight into current times, albeit most diplomatic in the rendering. |
