Ginger’s Challenge 20. If I Could Write A Column “It is the trod we took decades ago to come back and fit the arch of foot, now,” It was a stumble of my day that clicked me back, to what…states ago… a few decades gone now, with warm embraces only remembered of those that left… I had only known one state of life, warm, comfortable, no change of season, no ice on Christmas let alone a flake or two, except in our family, and we’re not talking dandruff…or snow… and I feared, with unthinking hold of breath, I would always just be “here”… as the sense of itch to travel embedded like a tick into my skin, extracting my blood of time into a gist of need and oh, was it felt, not just by me, but perceived by them that had been here, and there, and they recognized the tick in me, a time awaiting adventure, so The Family Trip was planned, as roots were uncovered, for I, a product of transplants, beautiful folk of rosey geraniums, wonderful sweet-peas beside nasty-tursiums, simple beans crawling up booming cornstalks, people of earth, native of places other than here, who thought the gold coast held their dreams, but realizing, not everyone wears gold…but are silver in nature, quick and mercurial, and needing treasures of their own… so the woman of bread and the carpenter man made plans, wrote on cards, “put the bean pot on in full,” so relatives and friends received, read, and planned for the invasion of the homecomers… thus was the seed of the transplants returned to her roots… and 1970 was the beginning of much, with pages still to be turned… a sketch of time beneath my hand which may unfold in Ginger’s column. ~*~ Larry Chadwick’s Challenge: /pip/Forum7/HTML/000552.html The hat is still waiting for you to reach in. |

Karilea, =========================================== so the woman of bread and the carpenter man made plans, wrote on cards, “put the bean pot on in full,” so relatives and friends received, read, and planned for the invasion of the homecomers… =========================================== The invasion of the homecomers! Yup, you got that smile back on my face...what a wonderful read I'm looking forward to more. Thank you. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

and oh, was it felt, not just by me, but perceived by them that had been here, and there, and they recognized the tick in me, a time awaiting adventure, so The Family Trip was planned, as roots were uncovered, for I, a product of transplants, beautiful folk of rosey geraniums, wonderful sweet-peas beside nasty-tursiums, simple beans crawling up booming cornstalks, people of earth, native of places other than here, who thought the gold coast held their dreams, but realizing, not everyone wears gold…but are silver in nature, quick and mercurial, and needing treasures of their own… so the woman of bread and the carpenter man made plans, wrote on cards, “put the bean pot on in full,” so relatives and friends received, read, and planned for the invasion of the homecomers… ============================ you write of time and make it timeless.... a gift of your muse--past, present and future. who was it that said... "what was will be again" |
