Togetherness is the younger sister of Intimacy In fact, it was Togetherness that first introduced me to Intimacy many years ago. Togetherness and I used to hang out all the time. We went to the movies, the mall, we did everything. But after I met Intimacy, I started to stay home a lot. So, Togetherness found someone else to do things with. Togetherness could learn a lot from her older sister. But until that time, she'll just keep taking people to the mall and telling her sister about it all. 3-21-91 -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, Very nice writing my friend. I have always loved that collection of yours.  Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Hi Sven, We must be from the same area! I know both the sisters...or, maybe someone just like 'em. Good writing. Star |

deVine, thanks. . . I got the idea from reading "The Book of Qualities" by J. Ruth Gendler. I don't know if it's still in print. But in the book, she took qualities like loneliness, anger, love, whimsy and the like and gave them shape and substance. Made them human. . . I took this idea and changed it a little. . .thought about "What qualities make up love?". . . and this is what came out. . . and yes, it was nine years ago. . . there are more. . .I'll post them. . . I never finished them. . . but I might now. . . thanks!!  LW, didn't know that I still had those lying around did you?? Thank you seraphin. . . thanks. . . glad that you enjoyed. . . Temptress. . . thank you my friend. . . Ron. . .welcome to Passions. . . and thanks for reading! StarGlow. . .a welcome to you as well my friend. . . and we just might be. . . it seems that a lot of people know these sisters. . . thank you. . . ------------------------------------------------------------< !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 10-25-2000).] |
