Good morning all.......<BR>
<BR>
With wild amounts of nervousness...I'd like to invite you all to view my web page.......<BR>
<BR>
The work that has gone into it has been amazing, and I think of it was a faberge egg----where the setting is what makes the thing special.......<BR>
<BR>
Thanks to Hank, Dee, Terry, Dev, Gup, Kev, Tok, Madison, and god knows how many others for making it so very special for me......http://www.geocities.com/galadrialsgarden/<BR>
<BR>
At the moment, there is one piece missing------Learned From Little Sister...but that's coming soon.<BR>
<BR>
I'm still not sure I'm interesting enough to have a web page...but the designers insisted...and do give it time to load...it does the most amazing things!  Speakers on!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
                                  Love Gala<BR>
<BR>
P.S.  Chris W---please send me a copy of touching tongues------couldn't find it!<BR>

Jenna- Wow...I liked "Sun Sets Over Summer"  but especially the last line..."I still don't think I've gotten all the sand out of my hair yet..."  I know how you feel!!!  <BR>
<BR>
Slug-  "Debauchery" Loved it though I can't spell it at this hour *grin*<BR>

I was incorrect.......if you go to the garden, the last piece on page ten is a homage...for a very dear friend, and wonderful lady. Her talents amazes me, and she had given richly to my life...<BR>
<BR>
Thanks Dee..........<BR>

                                            Love,<BR>

Well said Dawn..<BR>
  Yes...Love finds you. And it NEVER really goes away. It lives forever in the heart that it finds. Such a glorious thing it is too. Because once you experience that which is love, even if he/she that you love is no longer in your physical life, that love lives on and on. It remembers that moment of pure paradise. And we are CHANGED forever for it.<BR>

<BR>
heya all.... wow... I've done a huge read..  I'm so behind.... I've been spending much less time at the computer recently.... good in some ways... bad in others..... my 'inbox' is in shock from the lack of 'in' stuff -- I recall Megs saying a few months back that you actually have to SEND mail before people will reply.... how true is that, I must get back into the swing of things... <BR>
<BR>
guppy -- you are someone I miss most of all, our nightly ICQ chats are very sadly missed....  Molly, Brenda, Wendy and Samantha... I liked... (smiles) where is Davena??<BR>
<BR>
Akash -- 'Lonely night' and 'I knew you remembered me' -- what lovely imagery .... very pretty.<BR>
<BR>
BK Beene -- 'Breathing Lessons' is very sensual.<BR>
<BR>
Megs -- welcome back girl... 'words' was tender ... loved the idea behind "origami emotions" and 'Just Wishing' was a brilliant use of imagery.<BR>
<BR>
Hank -- '(fallen) angel' lovely.<BR>
<BR>
Gala -- thankyou for being you.... I'm not as amazing as you make me out to be... I sware (and I want to state for the record that there is absolutely nothing wrong with extra short goddess's -- I've been one for several years now!))<BR>
<BR>
Terry -- 'Seasonal Maturation' lovely.... so few words but so so good.<BR>
<BR>
and everyone in general.... I've just updated my homepages.... all bar a few of my paintings are now on it.... http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/~deevaa comments are welcome... good or bad.<BR>
<BR>
take care of your hearts.<BR>

Sadness on a Swing~ 'Last Time She Was Alive' was touching and real, and grabbed my heart for a tight squeeze. The third person perspective was especially effective because it added to the sense of loss and mourning. You sure moved me emotionally.<BR>
