Exquisite, my friend. Your writing is inspirational.

It's nice to know you have such a lovely place to go in your dreams.

Aw, 'Buddies' is so sweet. *petspets*

This is beautiful: once in a while
someone cupping my words in gentle hands
taking them up and
releasing them like a butterfly upon the wind.

'On Being Notified' - you've captured that feeling perfectly. I just hope it's not a recent experience. *hugs*

Aw, I can just picture that cute little sparrow.

And all I did about it was swim and go to work.
Emergency unanswered.
Failure on all counts. - Nice to know the club maintains their emergency lines so well.

How nice of you to comment on so many poems! I feel all warm inside. :)

> I just hope it's not a recent experience.

My boss got the news-- one of his best friends died unexpectedly of a heart attack. Young man, 43. So very sad. He really was supposed to see him this Wednesday. It reminded me of John's death, when I was planning to go over Wednesday and on Tuesday got the call. And that reminded me of Mark's death... It's never going to be easy to hear.

> Nice to know the club maintains their emergency lines so well.

I still have to write them and tell them about the total fail. What an odd experience.

Thanks so much for reading. I really appreciate your comments.

my animals came back-- big animals, like African wildlife, marching past my bedroom window. I was excited to see them, as I thought they were gone for good.

This is such a beautiful image. Can't wait to see what your animals will get up to. :D

[mariole]

It was a gorgeous dream. In my dreams, animals seem to represent my creative life. Sometimes they're in cages dying. All those glorious animals marching through my backyard really gave me a lift. :)

I wish I could take you to my dream mountains! They are beautiful.

Thank you so much for saying my work touches you. That's all I really wanted in life. It's a gift-- to be able to make that connection. Thank you.

Oooh, I really liked Performance Anxiety. Yup. Just about every writer knows that feeling!

[mariole]

Yeah, I'm experiencing stage fright bigtime. Once I get on the horse, I should be fine. It's getting back on that's taking all the energy. :)
