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))),

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
