I search to find composure tempered by age, by that which has blessed the ear, the eye, the lightness of touch. I wander, though my soul tells me to step, step bravely along a path marked by briars, flowers, ancient oaks that catch the sun’s rays. I look into a water’s pool, touching the smooth surface, causing a ringlet to form and flow slowly away, away into the flowing waters, consumed by that which gave birth. I wait, as patience whispers and speaks bravely, calming that of which I am, a mere and mortal man.... And as the path does wander, so does the waters of life.... Moving slowly toward the mighty ocean, where life is born and waters dance the shores, receding into the blue foam....until stars dance and a toll of a bell brings home the hearty wanderer.....once more |

**sigh** I wandered right into the vision and flow gently through your words...Every time I am blessed to read your work I am more and more thrilled by how talented you are. Mere man....I think not for your words are perfection....Keep writing, dear friend....you are soothing to the heart and soul.... I love it... |
