Retrospect... isn't it grand... you, bringing me back to Big Bear Mountain, that summer of '62, where filtered sunlight found calves in climb, while leaves were shading slender legs in loamy fill with her seedlings in hand seeding ground leaving promises funny how we all grow and bend, in certain ways, wind and rains, snows and earthquakes tornadoes and floods, hurricanes and drought to be aligned as if assigned to one’s life… all those promises, only to be taken, later, in that summer of '02... when ash wafted down from promises burned by carelessness to be taken to sea by the Santa Ana Winds.... |

Aw such lovely penned retrospect... "funny how we all grow and bend, in certain ways, wind and rains, snows and earthquakes tornadoes and floods, hurricanes and drought to be aligned as if assigned to one’s life…" Such sage reflection in your parallels..... You're still as talented as ever...... |
