I read you, but, personally don't care to pick your brain with further inquiry of what you were thinking, what part of your life this includes, or, does it? Or, guessing what ulterior motive you might have had. Though many do, I prefer to accept this submission to me as a complete gift, wrapped in the beautiful of you. I thank you for your givingness to share with me all of you at the moment written. I accept your present unwrap with relish, looking for, a delicious surprise, and wear it warmly, cherishing your effort. Thank you for leaving outcome to me, for you cannot slam me unless I am willing to be thrown down, a place perhaps, I do need to be. And, you cannot uplift me unless I am willing to fly, a place I may want to try my wings. Always, I hope we're friends, as we walk ~side by side~ sometimes, bumping, one,into the other, with our poetry, on this walk of life, love, and learning. ~Thank you, I love you for your effort and this gift from you to me~ . . ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Ron and Ethel, It is written on behalf of every poem I've ever read here, and I wrote it from the bottom of my heart, for I am so glad for all I learn from all of you. I do cherish each and every poet and poem, each are treasures, in and of themselves. Such beauty and wisdom lies within these blue walls, ever teaching me more and more about myself and others. Warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (12-12-2002 12:09 PM).] |

I do believe one of the best gifts here in Passions, is reading poetry that comes to share the thanks of us, as individuals, not only to the site, and it's owner, but to those poets who share... and care. So, Pat?  Thank YOU for this gift! |

So thoughtfully you my friend. I liked especially the part about... I cannot be thrown down... We often put our own power into someone else's hands...because we forget how strong love makes us. ThisDiamond |

Oh Pat, this is such a wonderful thank you. There is such joy in reading each other's works. Personally speaking, I have learned volumes from the many talented writers that grace these pages. Hugs, Marti |

THis is all so true....We get only what we allow ourselves with each poem we read. Allowing us to fly and spread our wings,to be thrown down, or to be afflicted in anyway. You captured it all ...and perfectly ~salty In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |
