...instruction...

Up to now who's been telling me what to do? Third parties!
I've never gotten a direction straight from the source!

Very mysterious!

(Examples of third parties: religion, church).

...lovely poem from a dear friend...

I just HAD to steal this wonderful poem which a kind flickr friend of mine posted under one of my pictures:

"The changing of the seasons...... one door closes.... another opens.

I couldn't help but think of a silly poem I used to recite as a child:
'Twas midnight on the ocean,
Not a streetcar was in sight,
The sun was shining brightly
For it had rained all that night.
'Twas a summer's day in winter
The rain was snowing fast,
As a barefoot girl with shoes on,
Stood sitting on the grass."

Thank you kindly, MM.
