giving is better than receiving
in the long run
what you acquire does not make you happy
what you give to others
does.

Thank you Po. I'm glad your getting something from my scribbling and keyboard tapping.
Not sure about your Baal Peor reference unless it's refering to the fact that we reap what we sow? But even with that there is grace, grace, amazing grace.
Go well
Yea keep our feet on the ground and our head in the clouds (depending of course on which clouds we mean).

Thanks Tom for reading
"You left before I could say Goodbye"
i think it could apply to many situations
and many people.
Haven't we all expressed that sentiment
at some point in our lives?

Don - re Junk Mail - the big difference with your system and ours is that we have to provide an A4 page and envelope - requesting opt out (back through the postal system) every 2 years. With 41,000 residential homes (not including business premises) occupied, in my area alone we are talking big numbers of felled trees nationally over a single generational lifetime - and that is before we even get to the question of the junk mail itself. I know of no other country that does this in the English speaking world - and where the post office ignores the householders request in writing (usually a sign) on the door. It is a total farce - even 3rd world countries are showing better recycling ummph than ours. Makes me so cross. ?

sunset casts rainbow fractals
blurring our faces,

This is a poem as much about a recurring vision as it is about the struggles to love. 'Fractal' is such an apposite choice, trapped in a recurring pattern, wanting to break out into singularity, restrained by the heavy weight of romantic myth. "A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop. Driven by recursion, fractals are images of dynamic systems – the pictures of Chaos."

Hi Jon, thanks for your comment on Crooked Café. Great to hear from you. I completely agree, friendly customer service in a one of a kind place is a rare thing in the big cities these days and it's to be treasured. I feel like we've got to support those local businesses and keep them going...

If only so we can sit there with our notepads stealing lines ?

Thanks again, T.

Greetings Graham.
Thank you for your comment for the piece, "Hands of Ankh".
There is no translation, as the poem was inspired through a dream, in a language I do not know. Sorry.
Since that time, there is someone I know who believes it it Swahili!?
Wow, and translated a few lines, but didn't have time to translate it entirely.
Thank you for your support.
Love & Light.

Much appreciated.

Hi MCN and thanks for commenting on Bus Ride Scenario - I guess the poor child unknowingly sussed it was an unpleasant word despite her ignorance of it's meaning - had it been said to her in joking way she would probably have laughed it off herself. I guess we all remember the unpleasant kids at school. ?

Hi D, thanks for your comments on Naked. Glad you thought it authentic but I have been happily married for 20 years and it's all fiction! Was inspired by a friend's relationship breakdown, but poetic license was liberally applied.

read "Fifteen"
excellent!
very poignant
how often men remember
the first girl that caught their eye
so young so innocent
so lasting in the heart.

I see one person said it was good to have you back
even if you did not post anything.
Maybe that's the secret for us all.
The less we post the more we are admired.
wink.

John - the words which Graham refers to, which you posted on his profile (16 Oct), I recognise as my words to him on his return to WOL after a break.

No need to apologise John...I actually feel quite flattered that you went back eight months to find the quote.
