CONNECTED We are all in this turning world together And the same moon lights our summer nights We’re holding hands, through distant space between us We are sisters of the spinning satellites We never met, yet somehow I feel your essence In your words laid across a shimmering screen Distance melts in the silver iridescence Just as snow melts to summer fields of green The differences are growing dim The chance of war is growing slim We’re linked by stars that spin in space We're sisters of the human race And God is watching over you and me Separated by a mighty sea I never saw you, yet I know what you are thinking Just like me you would like to be my friend Light my life when your fantasies are blinking Through the crystal windows of delight Touch the keys and we all become one nation Touch my heart with the beauty of your name Your phrases sift through the filters of translation And our languages all become the same The differences are growing dim The chance of war is growing slim We’re linked by stars that spin in space We're sisters of the human race And God's aware of every flow and ebb Of hearts connected by a fragile web Elizabeth Santos |

"Touch the keys and we all become one nation Touch my heart with the beauty of your name Your phrases sift through the filters of translation And our languages all become the same" Liz, dear friend...your grace is showing, and it's beautiful!  |

It's true yanno, I would love to be your friend.  This reminded me of something said in a favorite movie of mine--"Phenomenon" where the character George Malley played by John Travolta asks a crowd if they knew what the largest living organism was on Earth. He answered for them, "It's a grove of Aspens." He further explained that they only appear to be seperate, but are actually all connected by one single root system underground. He said that the human race was like that too. Hugs, Lady Liz, for your grace and understanding. |

A most enjoyable read but "Of hearts connected by a fragile web" I think that perhaps the web is stronger than we can imagine. In fact, I think there is a lot more that we just cannot imagine but time will tell no doubt. Thank you for reminding me of what I truly believe but sometimes forget. |
