I am so glad you were born.

[artolmaeus]

That goes for all of you.

Thank you. Glad you were born, too, mi compadre.

[artolmaeus]

thank you Nir. There are times the story of you and David is the one sliver of light I have. Amy's openess and honesty and some of David's poems I have interleaved in my Torah and Bhagavad Gita for inspiration. There is a capriciousness in the spirit in which you write that I can feel your mind running as fast as the thoughts and you get them out. If I just sit down and start typing it may be like 10,000 monkeys in a room sometimes but you have a better governor on the throttle than I. It may be that I internetically know David, but with a much more concise wording, his poems set my mind on fire. It is what I hope to do but far better than Bukowski, in my opinion, he is an artist with both word and feeling weaving. I am glad you both were born dearies! Amy Cain Newsome has such a heart and can write out her longings and when I read them I identify with them. I am grateful for your birth Amy. It is a disjointed connection we have here and it has its ebbs and flows, and it means something like having a best friend to just go fishing or mushroom foraging with or just a walk. It is the only internetical thing like it I know. Thank you for keeping this board and line open. (Sometimes it feels like a really, really long wire with cans at both ends, and that too, is kinda cool to me)

I adore David's poetry. First thing I noticed about him... LoL

"...really, really long wire with cans at both ends..."

Excellent analogy.

[artolmaeus]

you and David pulled those wires together beautifully and have caused such an ongoing story...maybe sometimes, you walk together and kick those cans!
