journey
October 20, 2009
- words, ideas, thoughts arise and dissolve before i sit to write. i will write that, i imagine, but somehow the moment shifts, time collapses and the paper bears no marki have returned from my past back to the present and discovered they are one and the same. my trip was more than, better than i could ever have anticipated. the days flowed seamlessly, there was love, joy, rain and sunshine, wind ...

That is a sweet story
- as good as a dose of chocolate! Hope the weather calms down!
thanks Jodi
i could never imagined it being so very good, And recognising my 'australian-ness" ; who would have though the call of a bird could evoke so much.
ahhh
what to say. your presence has been like a fixture, the familiar clock on the wall whose tick measures time, and then - suddenly - silence.
Have fun!
That sounds like a real treat.
there is no consolation
for the loss of someone you love. But you have beautifully conveyed his love, his life and his passionate presence in the world, and shared that with strangers.
