\'We all put a foot in to begin this dance of communication
To leave grief from the past and anxiety from the future
We must all learn that together the key is inside us
As no moment lasts forever and each one a reminder\'
some poignant and deeply insightful words, from someone who empathises instinctively with true loss,
such a reassuring read
thanks for sharing my friend

Those vulnerabilities may be there in your thoughts but each day your strength increases and your new knowledge will take you forward into the wonderful life you are creating for yourself Dan.

Both are part of the whole, rational or irrational

Brilliant!
its hard to not take for granted those loyal few who stand at our side, shows the measure of the person to recognise and express gratitude, even if overdue
that\'s the secret to communication we all misunderstand, true love needs little watering to blossom, but its only when we\'re in-synch we can recognise those telltale signs for us to provide those rainfall words of solace: our parched partner\'s rely upon...

You have a very relaxing tone to your voice this morning and with the gulls i can hear in the background you really capture the air of a salty old sea dog passing on pearls of wisdom whilst he sits on the quayside mending his nets.

Two heads are better than one when love becomes higher than us
L. B. Mek said:

so great to read you\'re beginning to come out on the other side of what\'s been a turbulent time, happy for you my friend..
this was another wonderful read, loved the title\'s wordplay with your picture, indeed:
\'on our parent\'s shoulders
we lucky few, grew
to dream, of aspirational stars
once, so seemingly
far beyond: our grasp\'

I used to walk in the gutter, eyes cast down until i wrote myself onto high pavements and looked life in the eye.

Being poetic is the best self therapy i know. And what a great bunch of helpers and healers you meet along your path.
