To Echolation:  thank you!  I've followed your poetry, and appreciate your very kind comments.  While I don't post a lot, I'm deeply inspired by most of what I read here.  Inspired not so much to write, but to live.  '3-Way tie' was a sobering moment recently, when I examined myself in the mirror and took stock of the situation.  <BR>
<BR>
Unfortunately, there are more than a few of us here who have seen the same reflection looking back at them as I did, and decided to do something about it.<BR>

Everything you have submitted lately is kick ass, but I especially like your latest. You should not feel a shred of guilt. I am ecstatic for you. I bought "Don't Look Back," a Bob Dylan documentary, at Title Wave last week. I was hoping to see more interaction between Bob and Joan Baez but the way he laid into the staid, boring journalists cracked me up. "laid into the staid"...weird. And then he talked about anarchy at the end. I guess you've probably seen it. Anyway, keep writing. You should start going to readings when you get a decent schedule.

The exceptional energy generated this month on the comments board and new subs is worth noting. Like others probably are, I am really glad to see this. Nothing festers here as folks vent and share. Lots of healing and dealing with life going on. May misery and uncertainity be share someday only in retrospect as we all move forward. Negatives work forward to positives, life comes into balance only by acknowledging it. This community is rocks this month. Thanks for the inspiration from everyone here as it bleeds over to far more than just this site or poetry. I just want to say: ditto:ditto:ditto to the comments ..... Rennie

Thanks for letting me hear from you...I can't believe how time has flown and that your new bundle of joy will be here before we know it!  I could relate to today's submit by you...It is normal for you to be concerned about struggling with money matters when we bring a new one into it...I bet your hubby and you will provide for him as you have for the others...Everything here in my world is "full steam ahead"...There's a new position offered to me that looks very promising...I will keep you and your precious family in my thoughts and prayers...<BR>
love always,<BR>
