AFTER THE WAR
25 June 2004

May rocky gorillas
and a merry can of forceps
plant green peas
when Dad’s bag is free.

And here I come back to read once again your condensed wish of peace ... and peas!

I still wonder about the rocky gorillas and the merry can of forceps, but I think I got the core message. And it's a cosmic message that I cherish. Thank you.

Love and peace.

" rocky gorillas

Another great write...but I admit I don't understand the above.
Good .. I can ponder this through dinner.

Hugs~Nancy

Don't bring me down now,
let me stay here for awhile
You know life's too short,
let me bathe here in your smile.

Smiles, Margherita and Nancy.  

May Iraqi guerrillas and American forces plant (green) peace when Baghdad is free.

Ok, it was kind of a quiz! Now everything is clear and the message is that of PEACE, which was clear from the beginning.

Cute!!

Love,

Thanks, JL.  Yes, world peace is the most simple and the most complex thing to achieve.

A child's tongue
shall set you free...

Diana, you are a wonder.

May we all hear the easy
peas to consequences.

You are a marvel, by the way.

Wonderful!

All you are saying is
give peas a chance.

Oh, okay!  Give "peas" a chance!!  Very cute... but I needed help from the others to understand it!  At least I am honest, right?

Thank, Nancy.  Namaste.

Thanks, Kacy.  Love the applause icon.

Thanks, Karilea.  It is you who are the wonder and the marvel - but thanks, anyway.  I feel highly honoured.

Thanks, Kate.  Yes, and it is so complexly simple.
Thanks, Cari.  No, not AT LEAST you are honest!  But you are to be congratulated for being honest.  Glad you enjoyed it.
