Geniuses of course :) <br />Now here's a question... I manage 'the process of seeing' in the light, but how does one manage in the dark?<br />Winter is fast approaching and with it the bitter poignancy of long hours of a cold blanket of dark. How is the poet to endure without the light?Shaistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259344471712162333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-56396515346369941422011-10-27T11:56:50.670-04:002011-10-27T11:56:50.670-04:00Justn to say that I loved your comment left for me...Justn to say that I loved your comment left for me on 'Forever and ever' about the ride to school.

I see light like I see the soul, immutable. Yet the spirit, or shadow, can fall and obscure it.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
