Losted.

I am lost again ,... as the dandelion seed - heads shine ... behind me too - While the rain lifts the peaks off some office towers , but ,...still partly obscurred ? Translation studies - disseminating drifting clouds , behind a fly wire screen. However, there"s no way through, but, up and over the hill - Ah ,...centrelink. Continue

Kerry'ism Quote - APPRECIATION/IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS

APPRECIATION;Doesn't matter what you cook, I'll eat it. It may not taste like a delicacy,but I'm going to eat, cherish & appreciate it like it is. The least I could do is help with the dishes, rub your sweet feet after I dip'em in ice cream,lay your head on my chest & tuck you away in a dream. As my grandmother would echo in Church overwhelmed with grace, mercy & goodness."You didn't have to do it...but I thank you" Continue

As we interact fantastically this fantasy takes me where I want to be, which is with you. What can I do? Continue dreaming until it comes to an end? Or try to get my dream realized, so my fantasy comes true? I guess that's w… Continue
