Somewhere in the background a twelve string is strumming, blending notes of scavenging birds, wind dancing in trees. Brightly colored rustling leaves blow about the yard without a care 'bout where they'll end up. Thick heavy clouds hang like a dark saturated blanket of doom and gloom, suffocating the sunlight. So why am I smiling? |

you're smiling because you can and because of the surrounding beauty within the sorrow and vice versa |

smiling...why indeed?... it has something to do with a grand-elusive quantity called multi-nested core optimism! applause for this 'penning'! |

Maybe you are smiling because you know the tune to which the leaves are strummng the 12 string. Much enjoyed. Reminded me of myt "Aria" 12 string I had years ago. |

Because you felt one with nature and its beauty, even under a hidden sun. Love this much, dear Kacy! Love, Margherita |

Brightly colored rustling leaves blow about the yard without a care 'bout where they'll end up. So vivid I can feel the crispy air. clever talks delay friendship! |

What a keeper, Kacy girl! Why are you smiling? Well, I think because you don't like the alternative. xoxoxo Alison |
