I have had actual heart flutters for a long time — this world, I think — and so this was me just slowing down, one thing, one thing, one thing, and slipping into. The stillness reclaimed me. Thank you, LN.
First, looking and feeling the artwork - Stepping Stones for sure, then an image of leaves floating in water, on the pond, in a puddle. Inside stillness and poeming - your writing! and then, ah Djanikian, the poem. As always, always - thank you!
Sometimes, Beth, I think: I have nothing else to say, nothing more to post. And then something happens, and there it is—that necessarily urgent feeling (I’m writing about this, too, but it is going slow). Greg’s poetry and friendship made this post easy to write. Thank you.
A beautiful prose poem with accompanying poetry. It made me breathe slowly and deeply. 💛

or a different ending?
a delightfully mysterious possibility!

You always ... just get it ... Ann. Thank you so much.
Lovely.
as are you, dear one.
A perfect tribute. Genius bit of writing, Beth. Well done! Gregory is lucky to have you for a friend!

I'm glad you responded to the call!

Beth, my heart aches with longing to express my words with the glorious yet simple beauty of yours. You, and your muse, inspire me. Thank you.
You are always so very kind, Deborah. Thank you.
