Awww, so nice. I don't require acknowledgment and I'm practicing listening, which my kids say I don't do enough of. I am a chirper in my current state and am not in the least offended; in fact FFL seldom offends me personally...and when it does, not for long. Mostly I laugh, which is a good thing.
I'm not as nimble as most of ya'll, either in verse or intellectual musings or spiritual discourse or witticisms (is that a word?). I enjoy reading and trying to assimilate what crosses here. My brain still doesn't work the way it used to and I am beginning to seriously worry as I have fallen from the top of my game to not being in the game at all in a pretty short timeframe, with no end in sight, and a lot of responsibilities remaining. I have been hiding and in denial about many things. But, I'm coming out of my denial and as I have yet to be diagnosed with a terminal illness, it looks like I'm going to *really* have to reinvent my life before all the money runs out. There is no going back. ________________________________ From: Robin Carlsen <maskedze...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 27, 2012 12:12 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Ramblings around Leiden Dear Bhairitu, Very good point, Bhairitu. I wanted to insult Emily, but thought no one would notice. You caught my real intention here—and I am found out. Is there any way I can expiate for my derogatory remark? Your objection (which nailed me good) reminds me of the idea of poetry: "imaginary gardens with real toads in them". But I, for one, am glad that the Pudget Sound lady graces us once in awhile by rubbing her wings together to create a distinct chirp,—which, you will observe, silences.
