		<description>I am glad you left that drawer open!  I can&#039;t wait to read about your year. Sometimes it takes a good whack to knock all the &quot;effing consonants&quot; loose. :)</description>

		<description>why is it vaguely disturbing to hear the weatherman say things like, &quot;... tomorrow should be mainly snow free&quot; and &quot;the party&#039;s over as far as the warm temperatures are concerned.&quot; 

and the temperature was below (way below) freezing already!</description>

		<description>You&#039;re exactly the right kind of person. You enjoy good art in it&#039;s many forms. I love that now comfort has a place at the theater and most anywhere. Chruch and theater or fine dining used to be ther only places I dresses for. Now I leave that to people who feel the need to impress. Actually, now I feel I belong there more. 

I understand &quot;treat&quot; too. I can&#039;t afford to be a regular theater goer. I pick and choose very carefully. Mostly mucicals. So I guess I have to turn in my &quot;man&quot; card. lol</description>

		<description>This is really good. I love reading your work. I agree with Donnie 100% that you could do this for a living. Writing is a hard field to break into…very few people have the talent and drive to really pursue it, but I think you do.</description>

		<description>So I read your writings on this site, and more often, it occurs to me that maybe you could do that for a living. write. You are really good at it. You have a way with words, as I’m sure everybody who reads your stuff can attest, and while you may just write for fun, maybe there could be a living in it, no?</description>

		<description>This singer doesn’t know all the words to his silent song. Yet. That’s for tomorrow to reveal but I’d like to share several lines that are part of my song …

Souls naturally form choirs,
Being kinder than necessary requires no commentary,
Laugh with your eyes and listen with your heart

I’d like to think by years end I’ll find more to flesh out my song.

Thanks for your words John. They shine a warm light into those sacred places I like to call home.</description>

		<description>You express yourself very well, and your sense of art is impeccable.  Your posts are always so beautiful and thoughtful and poetic. Thank you both for giving me things to think about it (not that I really need anymore of that), and things to learn about and things to laugh at. As a high school teacher, I learn that I have to keep my views open and give my students a way to accept everybody, so this gives me a lot of really great ideas.</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing the sense of wonder and spirit of oneness. Now that you’ve stopped to take the pulse of the planet and felt the beat strong and true may I respectfully recommend going back, at night, looking up, and between your exhalations listen to stars breathe…</description>

		<description>That is a strong story, John..
Thanks for sharing it with me. We all feel off the beaten path and alone at times, and it sure is nice when we find we weren’t as alone as we thought we were after all.
