downhill ice takes the car from me to play with futile uphill others. my frozen lake mind too thin to take the weight and splinters. one stays, calmly skating through crowd. one curls around closed eyes dreaming of safety. one joins daughter in back, caressing golden hair whispers. the last? unclasps hands, stands, prayer finished. he smiles sheepishly and introduces himself. I never aimed at reality; I aimed at truth. --Orson Welles |

I think I slipped in a hole in the ice...cuz I just plain got lost. Of course, I'm hungry right now and I can't think when my stomach's gnawing at me from the inside out. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

I dunno -- I picture it as a car sliding onto thin ice while skaters blissfully/ignorantly skate around it, or try to climb an ice hill ... all of them thinking of comfort, but not finding it. ![]() |

The slip ice slide and crash, perhaps, is just down around it. Must needs to put in my wood. Thanks for the 'minder ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

I think you must have been driving in the winter in Kalamazoo, Michigan...Brian... Thats what happens here whenever it snows... The streets are so icy, especially the steep hills, that the cars seem to go downhill without trying... I know that when I am driving on the ice and my car does that....I do lots of praying...and introducing myself to God... I especially worry about kids in the back seat....OH MY!!!!!!!!!! And winter isn't even close yet.... An interesting perspective ......I think. ![]() Lyra |
