 Love finds a way. Hate finds a way. Even gravity, If only for the fluid, Patiently finds a way. [This message has been edited by Ratleader (03-07-2006 10:51 AM).] |

I would never have dreamed that a sewer diversion box, in a random manhole under a random street, would bring me a poem.....but given the things life has brought me in recent days, it's a perfect fit. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |

You used so little words and when i read the first line i did'nt think it would turn out! But boy was i wrong....i just learnt that its not the amount of words you use, its what the words are. nice going x0x0 |

MyFriend~ You patiently wait ... and indeed 'find a way' to convey exactly the perfect fluidity of the situation~ SO understanding this ... and you~  I care ... truly care~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

I could ditto Marge... and I do. *S* But you know me. *S* I sit in awe at how much you say with so few words... then respond with great wordiness. *G* You say you never would have dreamed that a random manhole under a random street would give your pen a poem... but it doesn't surprise me at all... Your eyes see what most of us would never see... your talent allows us to see, too... With picture and poem, you share beauty from a place we'd never expect to find it. *S* It IS a perfect fit... and superb work! |

Thank you for allowing me to see what you see. If only I could say so much with so few words. I am always awed by your writing. Love will find a way ... hugs, Marti Every blade of grass has its angel |

It's a cleansing place, though it seems the opposite....takes what can't be allowed in a home, sorts out the worst toxic material and gets rid of it, then turns the rest into, shockingly, fertilizer. It takes good people, willing to work together despite their differences out in the world, to keep that happening. It's been a long time since I worked out in the "business end" of the operation, but even now I could walk a hundred yards from where I sit, turn five switches to "Off" (they're called Influent Pumps)...and if the action went uncorrected, start an epidemic -- not to mention the immediate downside of spoiling a million people's day...... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> ______________Ratleader______________ |

I was about to ask you, what on earth? But you answered my question. The journey is an adventure, but the destiny is what we take with us. Thank you for sharing! Karen  |

It's all been said but I would like to add my admiration for the poem. Greatly enjoyed. |

Great suff, so precise and complete in so few words! I guess I should just say "ditto". |

Like Suthern, and unlike you, I am not at all surprised that a sewer diversion box (or anything else, for that matter)brought you a poem. Good one. Enjoyed your explanation, too and glad to see that you are now looking at the stars, albeit through a sewer! - Owl |
