is that time together isn't canceled out by time apart.
One doesn't erase the other
or balance it on some invisible scale.
You can spend a few hours with someone
and they will change your life,
or you can spend a lifetime with a person
and remain unchanged."
Michael Robotham (The Night Ferry)
True friends you are..
our time apart has not been canceled out..
in my unplanned absence from this refuge of mine.
I have changed..
yet stayed the same in my time away...my time under the bell jar...
funny how hours turn into days turn into weeks..
turn into a month...
December..
and the winds and rain and snow have touched us all..
Thanksgiving has come and gone...
and Christmas and a New Year are on the horizon.
and I want to say..
I appreciate all of you ..
friends..
and leave you with a gift of friendship.
for you all..
enjoy your white time

I have missed your lovely posts. Those beautiful mitts fit in perfectly with your calm and snowy Winter scene. I hope that you, too, are a bit calmer soon...
Beautiful words. That is the beauty of friendship, isn't it? Some friendships need the nearness, others don't.

I never take the time to read poetry except when I look at your flickr photos or read your blog and I have to say that you have heightened my awareness to the beauty of poetry and how photos are an artistic expression. That's a gift you have given me and I thank you for it.

Beautiful mitts! Lovely photos. The Bell Jar was a favorite book during college. Such a perfect description of that state of being.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday.
Dear Theresa - how did i miss this heartfelt post? no amount of absence could erode your beautiful presence here. I hope that you have found comfort and joy in your time under the bell jar...in fact if it weren't for a bell jar from time to time - what would we do? best love xx
