water as metaphor..yes..but have you noticed: the harder you try to grasp water, the quicker it slips away as you imply: water will come and fill our needs..but do not clutch it too tight enjoyed, Al |

Told you I'd be back. *S* I didn't realize the werk monster was going to hogtie me for so long... but your words stayed with me as I worked so I could live... and read. *S* And lines this beautiful are sustenance... as needed as breath. *S* |
