The world spins around like a silly clown trying hard to pull laughter from crowds for this is the rope that tethers and ties the earth to its place in the sky. Too sporadic the open and unabashed smile and the mirth of spiritual wiles that crinkles the eyes, wrinkles the cheeks, and dances the heart into blessed release. And so with each spin a web of hope of intense and immeasurable scope rises up from the ground like a flame to lick at the downcast dismayed. Sometimes it burns an insatiable yearn for love to slow down the turn until I can know that laughter today keeps the earth turning my way. How sharp the intrusive stab of a frown that wounds and confuses the ground until like a fox in a forest of men it runs until … I don’t know when! Helen / 19 October 2006 |

Hi, Honeybunch. This is a whimsical and thoughtful write. The world is spinning at your behest.  John xo I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires. -Khalil Gibran |

Darn frowns are only smiles turned upside down, but man can they be downers - I loved this and its message Helen. |
