I know I made a vow sometime before the lie but of vows they disappear when the circumstance of life overtakes and suffocates what was meant to be and substitutes a fallacy. I cannot say they’re fickle or simply do not care but rather that they’re fluid and seep between the gaps of determined ignorance in attempts to be known and made meaningful. I look sometimes across the lie but the ignorant can see no gap and cannot gather drips and drops of what they cannot see and so of vows they lie as dead from this life until the next ~ but between the two, yes, it’s true, there’s most certainly a gap and I await the gathering while preparing my epistle in defence of ignorance!

Thanks, Amaryllis. Like vows the "powerful" sometimes takes a while to make itself known and then when finally it does, it's perhaps too late to be meaningful but "too late" is always open for debate. Helen |

I am always mesmerized by your writing and find myself just reading again and again. Then I think - and return to read again. Thank you. A |

Thank you so much, Alison. I'm actually guilty of doing the same thing. "Who writes?" is a question I often ask myself. Helen |
