THANK YOU 10 November 2007 Like that single soft contralto note on dragonfly wings as pure as a raindrop on a leaf, that you want to hold in cupped-hand protection in reverence and remembrance in the silence beyond Forever . . . so are my sacred minutes with you – welcomed into your sacrosanct homes your quivering lives your throbbing, fractured, sensitive hearts the meandering pathways of your vibrant minds the weakness of your strengths the strengths of your weaknesses the moon shadows of your souls the resonation of your God-spirits your precious secrets - some puppy-play happy some graveside sad some soul-shaking – all of which I will guard with the honour bestowed upon me with the gift. Pipsters you are my sunburst joy my rain-grey sorrows my mountain-tops my river valleys my forest solace my soul-sobbing cleansing my gallery of the past my starshine forward my escape flight from reality to the celebration of reality my new-eye panorama my dance of freedom my security guard my butterfly-rhinoceros courage my eagle-flight inspiration my thunder drums my lightning torch my rainbow tears the rising and setting of my glorious Brother Sun my azure Paradise, but most of all, my flesh-and-blood friends. - Owl |

Owl, THANK YOU for all of the above, as well! My heartfelt sentiments exactly for all of our pipster friends. This truly is a circle of kindred spirits who share their lives, feelings, thoughts, hopes and dreams through the gift of poetry. Thank you for expressing so beautifully what so many of us feel.  With much love to you, Dear Diana, Linda  |

Thanks again, Margherita. Smiles. Thank you, Linda. Yes, Pip is a blue heaven. Thanks you, Jo. I have missed you too. It is so good to be here, even if only for a few minutes at a time. Hugs to you too. Thank you Kacy. Wow! "Unique life force" coming from probably such a powerful(benevolent) lightning force! I am grinning with honour! The only reason you don't see my name on EVERY one of your posts is because I didn't see it or didn't have time to reply! Kate, I have missed you so much too - and your emails and your furry friends. Aziza, you make me feel so honoured. Thank you for your beautiful kindness. You too are a wonderful part of my life here, you flesh-and-blood friend. Thank you latearrival. Imagine not knowing Pip! What a disaster that would be! Oh, but you are thanking me Ida. But our thanks is a multi-mirroring of the wonder of Pip and Pipsters! Thank you Artic Wind. Lovely to have you here. - Owl |
