9/11/2009 10:33:48 PM Awake Beautiful paintings. Love the symbolism in the works you've chosen ... beyond that I am too tired .. too confused to make any further assumptions ... You almost made me smile ... don't think that will likely happen again for quite awhile ... Anyway, thank you. Peace to you ...
9/26/2009 1:48:32 AM Awake The new addition is breathtaking! What a lovely painting ... wings everywhere : ) ... and an even lovelier notion: All of those wonderful things rolled into one beautiful being. So 'your fairy is made of the most beautiful things' after all ... and not a curse. I am so overjoyed to know that. This sentiment is just like getting a big warm hug ... something that I sorely needed today. I will sleep better tonight knowing this. Thank you for taking the time and the effort to send some warm thoughts my way. God Bless! MAE
10/16/2009 5:41:33 PM Awake Peace to you. Embrace your day with a joyful heart. God Bless you and yours. MAE.
12/23/2009 7:13:37 PM Awake Good to see you again, folkysteve_aqrdw. I love the addition of the 'Girl with Mandolin' ... ah, the joys of music. : ) A joyous Christmas season to you and yours ... and abundant blessings, peace, and much happiness to you in 2010.
12/24/2009 3:48:36 AM Awake Just noticed 'Idle Tears' is a new addition as well, is it not? Interesting notion that tears could in fact ever be 'idle' ... I have a hard time wrapping my mind around that. Perhaps, the tears here represent rather joy ... that there is in fact something worth misssing ... remembering from amongst the memories of a troubled past? Do you have a voice I wonder? Have you somehow forgotten how to speak?
12/24/2009 4:12:20 AM Awake No, wait ... I see now that I am wrong ... you do speak ... you speak for 'Reasons for Joy' ... a worthy cause indeed. Perhaps, it is just that you just choose not to 'speak' (with words anyway) to me? Tis no matter, I suppose ... I have born far worse than silence ...
12/26/2009 3:33:00 AM Awake Merry Christmas 2009, folkysteve_aqrdw. I hope that day 1, of the twelve days of Christmas, was joyous and memorable for you. : ) I was wondering, if I might be so bold as to request a favor of you? ABinsolitude requested that I put together an album telling a little about myself ... may I make the same request of you? Please ... at least think it over ... then, should decide not: I will understand ... promise ...
