inspired by Lauren (Greeneyes). . .thank you. . . she began this time as part of them one half of the centerpiece of this matched set not just a face in a faded photograph but part of a story that began long ago and would have to wait for its conclusion when time found her again the day came when they were removed from the set and placed upon a shelf of their own in another one of life's rooms a room where they had to be on their own but one where she grew where she flourished where she was loved she waited waited to again become a part of that set they watched and searched searched for the ones that would know their eyes never losing hope knowing that they would walk into that room one day and find the set they belonged to and so, the day came the day came when she, now fully aged again took her rightful place with the set she was welcomed back with open arms and open souls and, in the end, it turned out that she was never lost, but, just waiting to be found --------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. [This message has been edited by Sven (06-11-2002 04:49 PM).] |

thank you all my friends. . . when I read Lauren's story, I was amazed. . . it really spoke to a part of me. . . then, the words came, and I found that I was telling the story as though I had been a part of it, never knowing that I was speaking with the voice that always needs to be heard. . . Lauren, I've always been able to hear the words. . . and I'm glad that I could hear these words and share them with you. . . thanks for being a friend, and for just being you. . .  --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

Sven, this is SO beautiful and expertly penned my friend. If you don't mind I am keeping it as well... ...for I have a similar story. And, I am hoping one day to find the words to write it out. ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Sven, this story touched my heart so very deeply because when I was a boy I was depressed all the time and I felt I was buried in the Twilight Zone surrounded by black cats and zombies without faces then I knew I was just in the wrong place when compassion found me! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing! May love and light awlays shine upon you!

Sven darling boy and keeper of dreams guises, this is spectacular writing. The type of writing that takes you into the very heart of it and holds you captured and spell bound until the last word. Writing such as this is too fine, too rare to be tossed aside carelessly, or read too quickly in haste. Writing such as this must be allowed to sink into the soul of the reader and settle like a mantle over the spirit. Imparting wisdom, sharpening the senses and giving the soul such wonder, such thoughts, that they inspire, and stir that place within. Okay this isn’t a novel so I’ll finish rhapsodising, and simply say this has been written with pure skill, and yes I utterly utterly love it.    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |
