 Oh well, I just put a whole new meaning into mouvement sourd-muet, meaning dumb move to the non-bilingual.  LOL |

Such a beautiful presentation for your melancholic, yet also intriguing and well written piece, dear Sharon. Your strength is shown and it will help you to overcome the crisis. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

I think I got good at it actually after about the 2nd time, and at 4 times I am almost sure of it! Thanks ladies, and this was just something I thought went with Steve Hanks art above, (Sea and I both love his stuff!) |

Sharon, You're the best. Don't mind if I love this do ya'? Wish I had written it actually.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

A beautiful mix of compositions, colors, and words...a fusion of arts. The bare shoulders of the woman show her vulnerability..the way they are slummped, as one slumps when they give up...or when one nearby mocks with "sickening laughter" And yet she does not cover her body, the cold/despair has not been driven in that deep it seems...she does not need the quilt-a sign of bravery? A sign of having "the last laugh"? enjoyed ----------ice ><> |

“Alone but hardly lonely, This is not my epitaph, My life is finally beginning … “ I sure can relate to this one, my friend. You’ve captured that prickly moment between the fear of being alone, and … knowing that there IS light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. Well done! Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

Now you see Ice that is what I was trying to say but you said it just so much better! There is a huge difference between being lonely and alone, and I will take the latter any old day rather than be lonely in a marriage ever again. That has to be the worst ache there can be for a human soul. When I need a warm hug nowadays I pick up my cat, go find a dog to lick my face,  go out and window shop, or call and talk to a friend on the phone. That is my cure for lonliness. Thanks a lot for enjoying - was having fun with different mediums and putting them together. |

How true that loneliness isn't being alone. The presence of a non-conversationalist can leave you lonley as can missing our departed loved ones. But I just love how you've handled this situation by getting the last laugh! Great pieced, Sharon Rae |

Rae, to be honest there should never be a last laugh - I wish they would make getting married SO hard, and the divorce the easy part. That way more people would really think about what they are getting into I think anyway?Susan, sent you this masterpiece in your mail, LOL, smart firewall you have there. Thank you Nancy Lee, having fun lately pulling a few things together into presentations, this is a start. |

Thank you Sharon! It is a most truthful write....living in a marriage that isn't what it should be is a lonely like no other. (The art work is pretty cool also). *going on 4 yrs of being divorced* "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Nodding and you know I agree. The art is lovely too--and sure makes me wish I could periscope around that right edge... |
