a hope for tomorrow.

Dear BV,

Aaahhhh the romance behind, in front of and beside this longing is lovely. “ Allowing the shroud
of your memory
to bathe and rescue me” dripping with beautiful imagery and old world writing. Love what you’ve done with the piece (owning I never I read the original version although I’m sure that was outstanding also as you never put out drivel). Lovely write. H🌷

Hey there, Honoria
Firstly, Omg, you're a super cutie, my dear lady!!  I was so so excited to put a face with the carousel horse!!! Great pic on the NaPo forum!! Awww... I just loved it! ;p... ok ok– I won't make it any bigger of an issue, than that... Lol.

I'm so delighted you found this romantic and not too dreary. I was going for that middle ground and your lovely comments, are music to my ears. I'm humbly grateful for the generous list add and for you taking the time to leave your thoughts with me. I do love seeing you...

I hope you've been well - 💙

T,
Thanks for the lovely sentiments and thoughtful insights. You really took the time to get inside my motivations, which you know that I adore. I more so saw myself as the jagged rocky ore that past memory washes against. Being saddled with memories from the past, be it of a person, place or thing, is oftentimes very bittersweet.

I'm glad I can still surprise and hopefully inspire.

I deeply thank you for the list add and for your understanding. I'm so happy you liked it.

Much gratitude, my friend 🙏

Lost in the passion of love ❤.  Any guy including me wouldn't mind get lost in your eyes.  Keep on writing you strong beautiful smart sexy woman.

Thanks Francisco!
I appreciate your kind words.

I think its cool that you returned to this piece.

Strong metaphor...

Well established sense of place.  Really engaged the senses.

I very much like applications of the tides.

This is quite brilliant, B.

Thanks, C.

Memories can be both staining and sustaining....best restraining and not constraining.

Hope is that half full step.

Nicely put, RT... Lovely thoughts.  

Hope can also bite you in the ass sometimes, but that's just my jaded, pessimistic side spouting it's angst!  

Thanks for taking a looksee. I always value what you have to say and I feel sincerely lucky that you kindly leave your thoughts with me.

Yes, and sometimes a bite on the ass is just what the doctor ordered.

It doesn't seem like the worst outcome. It might be a preference if you don't resist butt rather embrace it.

Lol... Ohh he's clever, this one is. 😉

Well, I definitely should heed doctors orders, so I'm not ass-ociated with bad judgment or
ass-umptions.


(I couldn't help myself)
;p

No need...put yourself out there on purpose. We learn very little from success. Once you win the gold medal....it's all downhill...unless you start all over...older.

Controlled disasters are when we try despite complications. We know, sorta, what we're getting into.  

I was hormonally challenged from birth. My entire system was upside down. It so happened I got very ill and the doctor was clueless as to how to help me. I suggested testing everything, starting with my testosterone. Well, it was 129. Half of low normal. I was barely male.  At 750, I had some recovery, but my emotions were a bundle of tears. I went back. No idea.

I called in a shaman to administer kambo,  sacred frog medicine, to give me insight into my own biochemistry. Sure enough,  I was able to clearly see the issue, another hormone...estrogen. Tested at a high 67, it was 12% above dangerous. I had been biochemically been doing the equivalent of ovulating for 40 years. Another mystery solved....panic attacks ceased.  When I got that rebalanced later.  

Okay. What to do? I researched the problem and found DIM, an estrogen lowering natural product and successfully used it to complete my hormonal reversal.

I felt, after a very miserable 2 years, the best I have ever felt. The entire reversal process took nearly ten years...because I was fumbling along.

I'm a happy Cat.

So, sometimes we can go off script,  take charge, be bold, and find an alternative path. Oh, it bit my ass, back on topic, butt.....I can sit down as myself now.

Maybe you might challenge yourself. I find the thing that bothers us the most is the best area to tackle. That pain in the ass is what's biting us already. Be bold. You're working on your own behalf to be whole.

What a delightful write... I love where this took me... there is a warm comfort to it.. hope wedded to longing... bravo B...

Hey there, dear lady :)
I'm so relieved 😌 to see you back. I sincerely hope you had a nice break and are now fully recharged! They say that you don't know what you've got until it's gone, which I now know is totally proved true because of the way I missed your presence here with us. Your absence was deeply felt and I know that I, and I'm sure many, think you're a lovely sight for sore eyes.

Thank you for finding a bit of delight in reading my poem.... I'm so glad you came along with me...

Much love,
🌹-💙

Random flames finding their way to be oxygenated and when I least expect it...


Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me to ponder with huge 😁 grin attached...
