There’s a place in the middle of humankind that’s like a vortex of sorts and it holds the past with an iron fist not destined to ever erode. It’s clever and sly in it’s will to abide by the manufacturer’s guarantee but the fist doesn’t know the unbound power of one a force to be reckoned with. So when of a mind the force rises up and slays at that iron fist until what it holds is released and simply allowed to go free. But the force not happy chases to ground that now desperate fleeing past and with the magic it has thinks the thought of destruction in the knowing that thoughts are things. The power of one when of a mind births, holds, kills, life’s happenings but in the silent spaces still mourns the untimely death of extraordinary love! Helen / 29 May 2009 |

"now desperate fleeing past and with the magic it has thinks the thought of destruction in the knowing that thoughts are things" Beautiful writing, as usual. I have come to expect it from you!  |

Thank you so much, Kaoru. I guess there'll always be something in life to document but with my "retirement" from working life coming up, don't expect too much. Helen |

Perhaps, to survive, that extraordinary love should not slay the iron fist? |
