From out the deep |

From out the deep she rose to be not a mermaid from the sea but a woman of full faculty giving back what was received. Like a natural spring it bubbled and overflowed the banks of all that she believed was the better way to be and she knew in the equation a minus stood where plus should be. It was back then and is today a calculated risk to allow the inner out but the one who “does” the numbers prone not to ere consult the one who must fulfil the demands of a budget. Except, except, ‘tis known by some how budgets, sums, plus, minus, works to bring about a new lifestyle better suited to the “in” not “out”. Repeat, repeat, and, yes, I did to maybe wipe the blackboard clean and start again the adding up of more meaningful endeavours to satisfy that “pie in sky” some would call a soul!

Honeybunch, I sure know all about those budgets. I just got back from going to the ER. So, there is something else I will have to add to my tight budget. |

You have a way of playing with words that makes me wanna toss the dice. Always clever, insightful and smooth. I wish I were like this. I would know where to find the Pi symbol on this keyboard! *laughing* You delight me. |

**************************************** Like a natural spring it bubbled and overflowed the banks of all that she believed was the better way to be and she knew in the equation a minus stood where plus should be. **************************************** Recognizing is the first step to changing the negative into the positive. You have a natural flow that is always smooth as silk. Just as smooth as a conversation and always you give us pure soul. Lovely. |

Thank you all so much for your kind comments - and, Mark, "soul" doesn't belong in this world of ours but once "in" it seems not to want to leave. I wish the recognition of "it" would change it somehow or chase it somewhere else. Helen |
