Well....Chrissie ~ It is certainly pleasurable to find
that others enjoy the
words that come to mind
for me often.....
For they give me pleasure
in the writing of them.
That, then, is enhanced even
further when reading comments
such as yours. Thanks.
It also strikes me as very interesting
and greatly pleasing to find one such
as yourself who, without reservation,
calls herself a sailor.
You and I both know that we first must
feel in our hearts we truly are sailors....
Then we find, after all, we really are.
Sailing has always been for me this:
The most unusual romance of all.
A romance which welcomes all those
who would embrace it~
equally, without condition and without
limit of time.
A flame which never may be extinguished,
and always lurks as an ember burning in
the heart of anyone who fell head over heels
for it at any time in their lives.
Har! You are in big trouble now!
Do ya like rimes?????
Sommmmbody sstop me!!!
