They say there lives a man, deep within the forest, near a crystal fall. Standing tall amongst the Redwoods. Quiet, peaceful.....blessed, yet..... Somber... Books lining shelf after shelf, hardbacks of many learned authors....A wide range of subjects... A wise and knowing man... Hurting... The tick of a father’s clock, droning in the silence of what would be called and considered to be....God’s Country... Alone.... He stands before an open window, absorbing all of the beauty before him. Gentle flakes falling through the branches spiraling toward the earth below... Covering a trodden path..... A path leading into the depths of a darkened cave...known only to this man who wakes to the call of the wilderness.... Within the cave.....dark interrupted briefly, sporadically by candles.....a vein of gold... Two feet wide and as long as the eye could see.... Still standing at the window.....the flakes continuing to fall.....Bows bending slowly to Mother Earth, paying their respects... This man....still, quiet, looking into the distance of a calm and beautiful morn.....A tear falling from an eye.... A single tear....hovering waiting to fall.... In the distance.....a stone....carrying the name “Karelanne”.... A beautiful woman.... in eternal rest..... As snow continues to fall... and a man stands before a window.... Alone....

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Barry, this is so very heartbreaking, sweet friend, it made me tear up imagining the man morning over his loved one as I can imagine how it could feel! (big hugggssssss) This is powerfully sensitive, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!
