Sailin' On People from my old life often ask me how I've been, I say, "I'm fair to partly cloudy with evenin' storms rollin' in" mourning the garden, singing a little James Taylor to the wind. There's red skies in the morning and the air is so cold- feels like it's frozen my throat; here I am, stuck on this boat that's three hundred years old. But I keep sailin' on till I sink or breach another shore, with undying hope for a purple dawn where my old life will be no more. |

passing shadows - putting the past behind is a good thing, however, never forgotten... BC |

Dear Dixie, you are sailing on beautifully. The past loses its heaviness when we plant new seeds in the present. And I believe you are doing this very well. Love, Margherita  |

Dear Dixie, I'm sure you are sailing on with the right attitude, I'm sure there will be gold at the rainbows end or at some distant shore. Good luck dear Lady. love. Lindsay |

And sailing on is what we do best, isn't it? If we didn't, we'd never get anywhere. Enjoyed. |

Sometimes "sailing on" is easier said than done.  "I'm fair to partly cloudy with evenin' storms rollin' in" ~ I've got to remember that line! I sure know how that feels!  Linda |
