Re: Please Comment on the Works of Others
Yep, fell in the gravel and cement. I am shaky to start with and use a cane or scooter when I go out but I was without and in the front yard when it happened. Multiple abrasions to toes, feet, knees, hands, elbow and bruises and swelling. Decided to discard my skin (I guess). Being 68 (next month) a...

Re: Please Comment on the Works of Others
Dor, I want and encourage everyone to write if that is their passion (as it is mine) no matter how badly because that is how we learn. My mistakes have always been the greatest teachers in my journey. And I was just ranting (as I am prone to do on occasion) as your hit one of my 'buttons'. One thing...

Re: Please Comment on the Works of Others
Mom used to tell me..."don't say anything if you can't say anything nice" but she didn't follow that dictum either. It was a "nice" thought but truthfully, most artists, writers, craftspeople have so much of themselves invested in their creations...they really don't want to hear critiques (even cons...

hovering around my legs...

I THINK TOO MUCH...
I THINK TOO MUCH… living in a fragile world where only metal, crude and diamonds are wanted where the death of trees cause not a blink or the demise of the rhino is a byline get it while you can as fast as you can as quick as the flight of a red tailed jet leaving me behind to contemplate this fragi...
