How many times how many to reach touch the warmth find recurved memory that folds upon itself and fades How many times kiss the air before the lesson unlearned becomes unneeded? |

I like this very much, my friend... As others said before me... your few words invite thoughts that speak volumes. *S* Excellent work! |

How many times I have raced the wind, Memories, like rocks in my pockets, Dreams, like greyhounds before me. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Ed...I try to reflect on my lessons, try to look for the reasons things happen. Unfortunately, I find myself circling the same mountain at time. Unneeded lessons...hmmm, I don't know, my friend...I just don't know. This is wonderful writing, not soon forgotten. Patricia |

ED~ Some lessons need to slap me in the face before I get it and it is no longer needed... Very nicely said! Susan |

It can be much easier than all that..... Sometimes you don't need to learn the lesson anymore, because the circumstance that made it necessary has gone away..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
