Tiel, I like this a lot. Yours is a different take but knowing Peter (Openhand - that about says it all)and having gotten to know you (a little, but enough to make me smile) I think the two of you could talk or just be together for hours. Rare, both of you.
Anyway, Ada's calling. Just wanted to say this poem is so you, and I love that.
I like this one as well, very much--actually it fits the painting better than my story.
Also, Rumi "friends always ask us how are you/ why don't they ask: how aren't you?" dredging that up from an old coleman barks/robert bly Rumi tape I used to listen to. Just seeing your site for the first time and love that concept of knocking from the inside.
Warm regards,
Openhand.
Very spiritual and meaningful. Great accompanyment to RM's beautiful artwork. Peace, Light and Love to you and yours. . . .CordieB.
If it were I
option #1 would occure
