Probables [inspired by passing shadows] How does life become easier in its harshness…? that’s like trying to pierce a point in time when the sun decided to shine again, when one begins to dwell in that silence called death mortal or otherwise, [any separation will not do, even though it does] by thinking of one’s passing, [going on without us, our having once been of import to their very living] a wound so grievous opens, and if we are lucky, we might be thrown into remembering how fast that absent love would staunch it then hold us quickly to that chest again rocking us hugging on one of the hardest things to learn, something not easy to teach, is that there can be a graciousness in saying goodbye [of any kind] gently, as if we were to take that person by the shoulders turn them around to show them vistas of life still before them, while they position in amazement new terrains scattering before them, we quietly recede into shadows... life taught me, always open a new door for someone when you say goodbye... and if it cannot be a door… leave a window cracked open, freshly Windexed….

your work has indeed taken a profound turn my friend. . . it's become more you. . . or, I should say, more of yourselves. . .  this is a perfect example. . . it reads like I'm talking to someone. . . and they want me to listen. . . so. . . I hear. . . well done. . . ------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Oh Karilea, I do not know what to say now...I'm at a loss for words for being credited for inspiring such a beautiful work of art here from you...  my goodness, I think I'll just sit here in awe for awhile...I love this feeling, of not having words, just being a part of someone else's words that have been painted with such love onto this canvas we have here. Very good feeling, thank you so much. |

one of the hardest things to learn, something not easy to teach, is that there can be a graciousness in saying goodbye These lines were my favorites... until I reached the ending. *S* I love this, Sunshine... it's one to keep... to ponder... to treasure. *S* |

(smiles) Such wonderful wisdom shines from your words, sweet friend, I believe when we all do say goodbye and close one door, another always opens and we should always try and look for new territories with greener pastures and look for the probabilities! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

*Sun*Shine* We are the keyholders of all the important doorways We are the gatekeepers to all who would pass Its only natural that not everyone who enter are here to stay Your poetry is the key to many a reader's heart, *Sun*Shine* tSR/JkF [This message has been edited by ShadowRider (04-06-2002 10:41 PM).] |
