QUOTE (Psyche @ Apr 3 15, 07:05 ) Dear Dani,
I have thought of you often through the chaos of my own life, believe me dear friend. And the chaos of the world around us, full of wars and changing scenarios that I would never have imagined during that "happier, simpler time" that you recall.
And I even thought of e.mailing you, but to my distress it never got past the thought...
I remember your lovely, sometimes distraught poetry...and wondered to what part of the world you'd moved.
Sharing your true essence with us all using the magic of word expression is something that I hope you'll renew as soon as possible. I look forward to your posts very much indeed.
As Eira has said, it's quiet here...a shame! Facebook seems to be the main culprit! Are you a member?
MM offers great critiquing and comments, I used to learn so much here.
I'm no longer a constant, but perhaps if some of us start posting again, part of the good times can be regained. I'm not very inspired, having lost my husband in January 2015, after a 15-year illness. I miss so much embracing him...
(((hugs))), Syl*** aka Psyche
Dearest Sylvia, First off, I am truly sorry for your loss... I can understand the yearning for the warm embrace of a loved one...it is not easy, but would a cyber hug do? :) Well I live in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. My mo, grandma, aunts and uncles and their families are in Damascus and Beirut... This struggle for power has increased the death count to a level of normalcy that has become extremely inhumane... The stories and images I have heard and witnessed are crippling to the soul... The scenarios have changed. The souls have become harsher, deeply disturbed and unforgiving... And the problem is that it all happened just as people became more enlightened and appreciative of their differences in cultures, tradition and religion... I wish we would promote love... Let's promote love and understanding.... As for not being able to get past the thought of emailing me... Well your response here is more than enough to make up for all that. I have posted a webpage on Facebook showcasing my poems but honestly it's not the same... We must learn and must progress... So let's make an effort to recap the magic here... Hugs Dani |

QUOTE (Eisa @ Apr 2 15, 23:52 ) Dear Dani, It is so good to hear from again. I miss your work an your presence here. I really hope to see more of you - it is quiet here at the moment so having you around would liven things up a bit. I hope to read your work again soon. Hugs Snow Dearest Eira, I'm hoping to get back on the saddle. I have written something which I will post in a bit... I miss the learning... I miss the insights of others. And yes. Let's liven things up. Hugs Dani |

Dear Sylvia,
It makes me proud to me in the midst of this community. The tragedies in Syria are increasing by the hour. I'm happy to say that my mom is now in Denver, so it's a semi relief for me. I still have family in Damascus, though.
Each one of us has gone through a certain type of war. We have struggled and braved different levels in our lives. It's not easy. You are a mother who has lost 2 sons and that war you've lived in keeping your faith is no easy feat..
Sylvia, yes the cosmos is grander than a life of a single person. But that person, even if a blink, is a necessity to this cosmos.
If we didn't blink, our eyes would strain and dry out.
I miss interacting and am humbled by your sweet comments and warmth.
Hugs Dani |
