on sailing the deep.....(just trying to see the bigger picture....)

Saving Ships....

if we keep on jumping ship
how will we get to our destination

life is a journey with both
rewards and pitfalls
if we can't trust the captain,
who will?

I say...
let's stay the course
keep our eyes on the horizon
and remember what we are here for:
to understand how to tame
the winds of change
and how to ride the waves
of the Great Ocean

Spot on Sonya, here to stay.

With you 100% dear Sonya. The urge to write cannot be denied for too long - - so friends will be back we hope.

You said it. We can do the best as we can, by being committed to true poetry, the tests and checks that come in between are a matter of time, its so ephemeral, however we cannot watch it harming us, for which i believe Tom should interfere and he would which is my hope.

carol
sonetta you are special

sonetta
i agree Don...i wish he would post a statement that at least he's heard us and doing something about it...it would restore faith for many...

Don
I am here as well. (Inspirational score rises in the background as the weary PF band adjusts their packs and moves forward.) I do have questions about the "Deist" approach of site manager/owner.... I think we need some kind of "sign" to let us know of his awareness.

sonetta
i do appreciate that Jon...i know you're heart is in the right place :)

sonetta
dear Jon, i hear you...who knows if i might jump ship myself..but I'm hanging on for longer.. maybe i'm just more patient (or obstinate?)...I'm giving Tom a little more rope before I let go! LOL of him!!
