 Dare to be different It's not all black and white Sometimes you'll catch 'em going left when they ought to be going right~ Dare to make a difference There is no turning back Sometimes what looked black and white turns out to be white and black~ Do not tuck tail and run Do not your opinions hide If the majority is facing North show 'em your smiling Southern side~ Sometimes the tide is turned on one different point of view If you've got one ... show it For a new wave of direction may well depend on you~ *Look for 'Another View' to follow ... ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Margie girl beloved heart sister and healer of nights fears, your writing is always superb and this is no exception. Your ability to write causes me to always smile and think. You put forward a bold and wonderful concept always show who you are, and not what the crowd necessarily think you are. As always every time I read you I’m both awed and struck dumb with wonder. And if you say if this is you being dumb I can’t wait to see you verbose, I’ll ….. well I don’t know what I’ll do but it will be dire Wonderful writing darling heart utterly utterly wonderful, I love it utterly utterly utterly, and I love the piccy too  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Marge, My mother taught me this as a young boy. It came in handy for my adolescence. Awesome write perfectly illustrated.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

Being different is fun. Being so different that you stop traffic is even funner.  written in blood before everything went black |

Oh, I am different enough, just don't know if it is a hendrence or a blessing. The nice thing about it is that I can pretend to be oblivious to things that bother me and convince myself of it. You approach life differently as well and it took me awhile, but I do catch on. Thanks for making me walk in that field that day almost two years ago. |
