why? I think they rejoice when winter comes at last, the wild terribe rains stop and one can breathe and heal with the weather - it is such a respite after the burning heat and flooding torrential downpour :) winter here is the time for celebrations, colors, warmth (as opposed to heat) , book fairs, get-togethers, new crops, good food and holidays and rest... am happy to see you posting again....very vibrant, strong, ruddy rebellion - indicates such passion tht it is hard to turn away from it. how hve you been. hope you are well.

the color of rebellion seems to hve rubbed off on those tht r behind the reds :) they seem to be bushing with the realization?

It’s so glorious when card-carrying members of the TOTH coming out of hiding. A splash of color, a flash of light, and back into the foxhole. What fun it will be when everyone returns at once. Thanks for popping in with this stunning treat. Lovely to catch a glimpse of you, Angie.

Happy sailing and summer’s end to you,

Melissa

Thanks for this to sleep on.
If there was no cold winter
the warmth and grandeur
a splendor would not be.
It is a midnight treat.
Nasturtium is edible.
It is a beautiful image.
I pray Ya are doing well.
I pray that. The thoughts.

"What fun it will be when everyone returns at once" yes

Angelique,

Here & there &
everywhere, i presume...

Beautiful piece of nature, there...
Lovely...Is it being pollinated, there?
Those thingies on the flower? If so,tres bon...

Joys impregnate, sorrows bring forth...and my
recent sorrows have brought forth the fucking mother-
lode...I think everyone indeed is returning from 40 years
in the wilderness...literally and metaphorically...40 years since
the Dream of that g-damn Boomer generation wilted on the vine....

Sexual oppression conquered, the gals went wild, as they say...
Now they are coming home again, one by one...and they shall all
flower forth..quite a Garden it will be, eh, Angie?

So surprised to return and find comments from treasured friends - Thank you, one and ALL! - Angie (who is moving to the Coast and soon will be able to walk to the beach every day!)

thx for the good news. Jim, hang in there - wherever it is you find yourself

I find myself here, now, at the center of the Creation, Rolling.
