Across Lanes a glance in another lane her eyes smile fingers lift a fraction off the wheel and then the ramp destination not my own this fractal contact maybe last unless by chance the chance my eyes hands pull me cross lanes! cross lanes! follow follow her lead and take her destination take her and the ramp passed past she’s gone |

ROFL... The poem is so incredibly poignant and moving... and then you pipe in with your responses and I get the giggles. LOL No fair! *G* I was working up to a good cry... and maybe they'd let me leave work early? *G* But that's okay... staying here just gives me the opportunity to read again. *S* This is beautiful! |

Yep, and those little situations are interesting when they come, when you say to yourself, "What if I just did, burned all my delta-vee and went into a different orbit -- what would really happen then....?" Those things do happen.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

I loved this one - for life is full of such 'fractal' moments; too quick; too fleeting for the logical mind to assess...where the pure emotion and impulse take over the steering wheel of the timeslice... However, one must always watch out for the concrete barriers..... Great write. CG |

Yeah, CG....a fractal being a pattern that is repeated at every level from macro to micro..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Ed...too often we let go of something because it hits so quickly that the rational mind doesn't have a chance to make a decision. I've found spontaneous happenings to be among the most rewarding...without them there would be no serendipity. Loved this...can picture it so clearly.
