Words and images - powerful elements of our everyday life. Most of the time we take them for granted, but sometimes something happens to make you aware of how important they are... and how thankful you are to have the opportunity to use or appreciate them. Here lies some of my words and pictures (which are untouched apart from cropping, unless I've said otherwise) - Please add your words to mine, and leave a comment. Thanks for visiting!
As someone interested in history, when I find a good story I want to share it. As a lover of life, I want to preserve it.

My dad once gave me some advice.
He said that, as you walk along the road, most people look only along the road in the direction they are aiming for, and miss all the beautiful scenery to the sides....

I really love this one when I was reading it it mead me smile for the first time today. Thank you for posting this one you have just mead my day.
Thanks hope, that means a lot to me. This is the first I've written for a very long time...
after reading this one I feel the need to post more of my own tonight you have mead me see with this post that If I don't write I'm not' happy so I am going to keep on writing I have not' really wrote anything new in about a year or so.
Hi,
I understand about the linking bit, all my blogs are for adults although I rarely post something that graphic.
I like the poem. Brings to mind my wife actually.
I see a ghost, angel or a fairy!
By further pause, do you mean the final pause when death could part us from each other in a general way?
I often try to connect with olf friends when I think of what may happen to any of us.
Hey hope (I so love that name!) It's encouragement from people such as yourself that have helped me renew my desire to write - only fair that I return the favour! :-)
I'll pop along and see what you've been writing later...
Brian - yes, link might not be appropriate (doesn't mean to say I can't find you though :-))... pretty sure the basic sentiments in the poem might be shared by many. It's the elements of that really close friendship that doesn't happen to often, but hopefully at least once to everyone!
mother of invention - hmmm, that was a bit what I saw when walking in the forest... angel or fairy, I think.
You might have guessed that this poem is about my friend, who is going through treatment for cancer just now. By 'further pause' I meant it was just another break... that death wouldn't seperate us, and we'd somehow meet again some other time, some other place (if you know what I mean) - our friendship's eternal, no boundaries (as I said, I believe a good haunting's in order when I go, but if she goes first, then I expect her to come haunt me :-))
Yes, we tend to let friendships slip too often, don't we. I have a couple I think I should renew!
Then it was just as I thought. My friend always says "beore the Big Sleep" but I like pause better.
Who knows what that pause will be. One day we'll find out, but only we will know, until it's the next person's turn. I hope, and feel, there is some sort of continuation... we shall see...
red-dirt-girl: So, you won't tighten up your poetry, until all the sentiment is gone? I guess we need both - poetry for the head, and poetry for the heart (though the combination is not so easy to achieve) I shall come back and see what you write next!
My friend, Julia, has allowed me to now mention her name (thank goodness - calling her Zena just never seemed right!) We've been friends since the first days of secondary school (11 years old), built camps, holidayed, run a design business together, flat & house shared, and basically done everything together
- we probably know each other better than any of our other family and friends.
I've said to her it's like she's the other half of me, and the other half of her husband - which makes her the whole one! :-)
hmmm...yea hthats how it is with comfortable friendships, fond ones.
yes, special.
