I tossed a stone into the crashing waves at the sea only to see that stone come flying back at me so of course, I saw it as an omen and promptly stuffed that stone into my pocket as a reminder to be more careful next time ‘bout what I throw away. |

Stones They are dreaming existence. One is a man, and one is a woman. Beside them an animal, someone who followed them into the distance until their feet grew heavy and sank in the soil. And the life within them became an expanding shadow, a blue gravel on which they fed as they changed; standing there so solid and dark, as if they were waiting for God to remember their names.

Thanking you for that reply, Huan Yi. And thanking you too, J.Samm. Raphie, ? LOL, ever play duck, duck goose? Nope, I NEVER saw him as PRESIDENTIAL material. Cannon fodder, maybe. |

ah, I agree with you Kacy. Seems the things we try to throw away are the ones that want to keep coming back. Well done gal. The greatest beauty on earth, is |

I'd be content (and have a cleaner house) if I could throw anything away. A pleasure to read you, always. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Hehe - cute. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Thanks, Martin, Donna, Dixie. Glad you enjoyed. Ken, just pack up and move as often as me... then the thrift stores will have a field day and you'll lighten that load. LOL. Susan, LOL, just ducking from life's boomerangs and throwbacks. |

Kacy, I knew about those living in glass houses! But the beach? Hmmm, what beach was that? Not an Oregon beach I'm sure! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

LOL, of course, it was an Oregon beach. Sad to say, Cannon Beach was so polluted last week they warned everyone to stay out of the water or get sick. Nothing is pristine these days, not even my kitchen. |

LOL, thanks for that juju. And yet? what if your mortal enemy is on it and intends to burn it right after they take control of your home space? is it then a good idea to burn that bridge? Sheesh! my brain must be getting fried, maybe needs a short break. But I'll hold onto that stone, and take down that bridge until I know who's going to take a walk or throw a stone. Did anyone see the lid to my can of worms? |
