Alchemy Its never simple is it... the connecting of dots to string lines from one place to the other. Perhaps Just a line drawn to hang your laundered feelings So pinned on to tensioned string they do not drag in grime of shifting ground but are soaked with so many drops from wet slung sighs of wind When you bring them in touched so somewhere between here and then the essence has changed and the dots you connected refuse to lie flat and even ironed the wrinkled creases remain Is it the purple air now mixed within the gray that has twisted the line dried thought that brings ions insight into play Is shortest distance a straight line when travail of mountain pass and desert send the line to flail against the pounding of the tides again and yet again bumping into rock before the finding of the other dot No Its never simple is it... the connecting of the dots the stringing of lines from one place to the other. but it's worth buying all that string in passions search for one connecting dot that in penciled line from last connects the rest for then in coloring between the lines you might find the rainbow best _____ with thanks to River for running by me again [This message has been edited by Martie (03-22-2002 09:33 PM).] |

I'm sure liking River's alchemy when mixed with your pennings...seems to me we've got a whole lot of panning of gold to do when we open up one of your posts....  |

  (smiles) Wow, I know what you mean, sweet friend, it seems much of the time we are all thinking of connecting the dots but it always proves to be so difficult when the true magic of discovering lifes colors is to work between the lines and tend to our poetic laundry everyday! (kiss on cheek) This is a gorgeous magical thought, sweet friend, your words are always so wonderfully enchanting! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Martie, I sure do enjoy reading you. This is so remarkably simple in the connecting of the dots...Brilliant It isn't as easy to see when you are unknotting all that string is it? Thanks. ThisDiamond |

When you bring them in touched so somewhere between here and then the essence has changed and the dots you connected refuse to lie flat and even ironed the wrinkled creases remain You write the most amazing poetry, Martie  the absolutely most amazing!copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
