    So true in so few words. Well said Bella.

    • Bella Shepard

      Thank you my friend, I'm working back into it gradually, very gradually.

      • sorenbarrett

        You are most welcome, Bella. Glad to see you back.

      • peto

        I thought that was you
        Wise as ever Bella
        I can, not sure 8 should now
        I'll think about it

        • Bella Shepard

          Thank you, so good to be back among friends.

              A well-considered capacity is thought through thoroughly 🙏🏻🕊️

              • Bella Shepard

                Thank you so much! I agree completely.

                This 575 provides a simple truth with an admirable lack of complexity.
                A gem, Bella.

                  Dearest Dave, Thank you so much for your comment, and the fave is greatly appreciated. I love hearing from you!

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Thanks for that, Bella. Warms my heart (That's my lot as far as a metaphor goes, I think!)
                    I don't (can't) spend as much time here as I once did, but I'm still around...

                    • Bella Shepard

                      I'm so glad that you are. Life has become very busy within the last several months, and I'm just now getting back in the swing of things. We'll just keep movin on pardner, and see you on the flip side. Take good care!

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        I'll try. You too.☺️

                        It surely does Bella, fine advice.

                        Good write B. 'Now, c'mon Orchi,' says Fido to me: 'Use one of those 3 brain cells and THINK!' lol.

                        Wonderful. ❤️

                        Hello, Bella,
                        The majority of us knew this but could never put it into words. You have shamed us all with this simplistic and subtle poetic pronouncement. One for the books, my friend.

                        Fond regards,

                        Tony.

                          Thank you for reading, and your comment. Truly appreciate the fave.

                        • Dan Williams

                          Like sometimes speaking out requires silence. Nice.

                          • Bella Shepard

                            I love your comment, thank you!

                            this little gem is packed full of truth .. I have lost count & so very many times when caution has paid off big time .. a fine example of less is more .. and gets a big 👍from me on this side of the pond .. Neville

                            • Bella Shepard

                              I read your comment as I'm starting my day, and you've given me the biggest smile. Thank you!

                              Forsooth. There's a psychological term for the souls who disregard that poignant fact; my best friend has a vignette to relate on the very subject since apparently folks labeled as having "asperger's" don't follow it. Myself saddled with the accusation, I do not so much disregard this fact as I believe there's good reason beyond. Beautifully rendered with excellent imagery and a deeply haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

                              • Bella Shepard

                                Thank you so much for your comment. We all function within our own worlds, whatever state that may be. When we learn to accept one another, we find the beauty in everyone.
