The grass is green and “squishy” soft under one and two and many more footsteps placed just so and, oh, just so to satisfy the need of easy passage to where’re the journey ends. Little is known of the “far ahead” perceived as just a dream but when the grass turns brown and the ground a hardened mass footsteps falter, pause, then stop at the point of contemplation. And so of crossing the divide between the easy and the hard I wonder if my bag of tricks holds a carpet full plush pile to soft land me on hardened ground but, lo behold, no one can look when unaware of change. To suddenly be “there” and know there’s no retreat like a mission aborted stabs at strength and fortitude unrelentingly. And so of walking on, on, on, across the barren and the hard I wonder if, I wonder if, I wonder if I should, but then I remember, remember the dream! Helen / 18 June 2009 |

Oh my, what an astounding poet you are, so insightful and understanding of life's purpose...even if you don't understand everything...you live acceptance...my dear friend...and, you all to well know, that from the difficult times comes so so much...yes, we fear change...yet, life evolves...and keeps on going, dragging us with it...regardless of how we kick and scream...LOL.... Very much enjoyed the visuals and reality of this...tugged at my heartstrings. Love you Lee J. |

Ahh, dear Helen, you share incredibly impressive imagery along with your deep wisdom. Good, so good, that you do remember the dream. When we keep in mind that there is an oasis in the desert, even if at great distance, we do find the necessary energy within ourselves to get there. And we will. Love, Margherita  |
