 Escape Goats I am yours, and yes, you are mine… not often enough, but far too much so for some folks, you come home, and we escape… friends are coming in from Houston… I need some time off… And you, my friends, compatriots, escape goats…you give me and mine freedom, peace, laughter, did I mention freedom? The freshest air of April met our faces [and being in Kansas, there’s always a lot of air…] and the sun greeted our smiles; the camaraderie so fine, the laughter, dare I say it, so very gay… And in just a few short days of together again, we whipped problems, found solutions, commiserated, digressed, digested, checked stories against stories of what was told from the last time we reminisced, and something I forgot to tell you, is thank you, for listening about people, places, and events which have no bearing for you; you were never there, didn’t know my people, could only imagine the landscape, but you listened, all the same. We tromped the pastures, and hit the highways; we fed our brains and stomached our insecurities; we encouraged the growing, and empathized over our ages… forever young, forever friends… Escape again soon, that I may use you, that you may use me to run away, to enjoy, and pretend, once again, we have life by the tale…. ~*~ To our friends, J&M It was a great time! |

There's nothing quite like it..is there? Friendship and you and this. Beautiful Karilea. M Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. |

Oh yes, remembering times well-shared, where everyone 'escaped'...one of the best joys in life is friendship, and it sounds like you had a wonderful time!! ~S~ Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life |

There is no balm that will soothe and heal Like that of friendship with heartfound zeal. This tells so well of how deeply we feel with true friends. Well done. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Freedom! Yes! Free to just be, as it is possible with true friends. Thank you, dear Karilea, for sharing so very beautifully the fresh April air of Kansas. Love, Margherita |
