Strawbridge, do not expect rapid fire responses to your delightful, complicated, stimulating words. It will take several readings to digest your images. As we all know by now, you are a clever wordsmith. Be patient with us. Give us time to read and reflect on your pieces. They are meaty; heavy. They come pretty fast. ?Too fast?

Thanks so much for this reminder. I was thinking the same thing. I wondered if I should post less, and I started that this week. You may be 100 percent right. So I posted a poem instead of another long story. Thanks again for all your kind words.

That is a HUGE compliment Rob. Thank you. I think there is freedom and even fun in not knowing what I'm doing.
