“There’s a gap in your history” but the card up my sleeve was to know that I’ve now learnt the feel of a lie and I felt it then rising steadily up from a lifetime of dormancy. It didn’t quite burst but slid with ease into the task of embellishment and after handling that with aplomb gave a most valid performance of twisting the truth to advantage … and, oh, I was proud of this display made possible by my absorption into the feel of human beings. So there, that’s done – I’m an “I” person expounding on my own achievements and promising all and everything from the base of my many strengths and isn’t that just like love when embroiled in the business of lust? The gap remains but I’ve scored untold in the knowing what mothers produce in the time of supposedly nothing to further a working career. Time tells all and there will be more to fill up the pages of spirit c.v.’s but I still wonder if love is the way to access that mystical heaven when down on the ground it opens no door to financial security. The mothers, the lovers; that’s it, you see, we’re merely the gaps in history! Helen / 1 April 2006 |

Hi, icebox - Thanks for the read! Yeah, to be a gap in history is to feel the draft of real whistling through the passages of what was meant to be! |

"The mothers, the lovers; that’s it, you see, we’re merely the gaps in history!" You are amazing, my friend! What a fabulous way to say it! Hey, but I think yet, we have a stronger role coming.  ....jo |

Oh Wow, Jo! What can be stronger than a mother who loves? I don't think I'm up to ... more! Thanks, my friend, for the read! Have a good weekend. |
