The simplicity and meaning touches me as I begin to fall into a similar thought. "i stop worrying how things will turn out." That is true for me to some extent, certainly more than in my younger years. There is something about aging that is refreshing.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-7696883524476239172010-01-31T14:49:19.600-05:002010-01-31T14:49:19.600-05:00what lovely words, specially the first stanzawhat lovely words, specially the first stanzaCrafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-53495643626867695402010-01-30T21:35:05.415-05:002010-01-30T21:35:05.415-05:00hey ladron, i love "september song" also...hey ladron, i love "september song" also. there was a time when i posted lots of music on this blog. hmmmmm. perhaps i should start thinking that way again. thanks for the visit and the kind comment. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-42120857632017565122010-01-30T21:34:07.670-05:002010-01-30T21:34:07.670-05:00hi jenny stevning - thankyou for your kind comment...hi jenny stevning - thankyou for your kind comments!!! the snow falls outside and inside. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-35832464305376168822010-01-30T21:30:29.778-05:002010-01-30T21:30:29.778-05:00hi willow and thankyou so much. i've enjoyed t...hi willow and thankyou so much. i've enjoyed this day a lot. have a lovely evening at the manor. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-6320517662268852752010-01-30T21:29:50.470-05:002010-01-30T21:29:50.470-05:00hi linda sue, i've done that with my students ...hi linda sue, i've done that with my students - it's so cool especially when you place multiple blobs of multi coloured paint on a water field. see you. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-65467683465027449482010-01-30T21:28:54.284-05:002010-01-30T21:28:54.284-05:00kathleen thankyou very much! stevenkathleen thankyou very much! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-58246670816825495042010-01-30T21:28:36.255-05:002010-01-30T21:28:36.255-05:00hi reya, reading your blog today i'd be inclin...hi reya, reading your blog today i'd be inclined to agree. it's a long old journey isn't it. unexpected as well!! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-26245372126893836122010-01-30T21:27:54.835-05:002010-01-30T21:27:54.835-05:00hey dan thankyou for that. i've always conside...hey dan thankyou for that. i've always considered it a courtesy to respond in kind to people who leave comments. i enjoy the comments myself! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-67660316150033260602010-01-30T21:27:01.995-05:002010-01-30T21:27:01.995-05:00hi penny - thanks for visiting! i think that calm ...hi penny - thanks for visiting! i think that calm is a mvoing state. i look at some people older than myself anf their sense of calm is much different to mine. thanks for your kind comment. stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-81784939503090091822010-01-30T17:30:45.347-05:002010-01-30T17:30:45.347-05:00I think I am almost there, but not quite, It ia a ...I think I am almost there, but not quite, It ia a lovely poem,<br />The grass photo is brilliant.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177627504060328999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-32598715189163786232010-01-30T13:22:11.775-05:002010-01-30T13:22:11.775-05:00That poem seems like a perfect mirror to "Sep...That poem seems like a perfect mirror to "September Song", simpler but with more depth and less maudlin.

It's sort of unusual to leave two comments on one blog post, but I just have to say that I really appreciate the thoughtful responses you provide to each of the people who leave comments on your blog.<br /><br />Your blog posts are like seeds for interesting correspondence that sprouts up in the comments section. I love that about your blog. And thanks for pointing out I could click on the wang wei words to link to the poems there.Dan Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628603380292404658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767484157936178574.post-58448100490973678682010-01-30T11:55:40.495-05:002010-01-30T11:55:40.495-05:00Steven, thank you!
