Underneath the old stone mountains I buried a time capsule. Inside, there were old baseball cards and a few poems I'd written in first grade but.. The one thing precious thing was the garnet ring my grandmother gave me. Held within the course stone of mountain where plants have grown solitary above my memories. My birthstone lay under stars and skies grey.. Perhaps someday..I will retrieve it.. And though not completely owned.. It is where my heart, buried in time capsule. |

kaoru I have done this... fortunately though it wasn't my heart... I returned some years later and though I knew exactly where it was. . . things were so overgrown I was unable to retrive my treasure. Now the miles and years divide me and I'm no longer certain why I did (or what I hid) such a thing. It would however be interesting to recover the forgotten reminisce and what I thought needed to be buried at the time. Enjoyed much... brought back a memory long set aside... lucky dale |

as for your subtle challenge in ages past when I was dipped from the firmament and flung into the erosion of the terra below I lived early chaotic lives that some how over time I dismissed or purposely misplaced “they” very well may be things I’d like to discover again but it would appear I may not have the time or the means for such a journey but I feel a mystique calling and a ghostly quality to your subtle challenge to think that travel to a place I already lived could be an adventure but again to reminisce and dream hold so many helpless moments and tears it’s possible many things I don’t want to remember and why a mysterious part of my unexplored spirit chooses not to It may be that your writing only torched something in me but I think you have dipped well into the ink with this and also a kindred familiarity in your touch of pen and especial the freedom of esoteric revealing. Thank you again... lucky |

lovely, Meg I have a piece of jewelry of my Dad's. But I actually only bring it out once a year on his birthday, just to hold it and to let him know I have not forgotten him. *s M |
