Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 My thanks to Tess, , Larry, Bob, and all the others for sharing their poems plus Judi with her essays. Each of the contributors have great talent and they show the extent of our little family. I have long enjoyed Tess' poems but I think the past two months have brought other beautiful works to the surface. I wonder what lies within our family that has not yet been tapped. I wonder if it is a by-product of the RA (or other auto-immune disease) because we are attuned to pain and appreciate more of what is around us and feel the world a little deeper than most. Perhaps, it is the pain that draws out what is there to begin with. I have written poetry and short stories for years but rarely share, however, seeing others with courage present theirs makes me feel that I might bare my soul one day. I have always been a private person with my deep emotions fearing reprisal to do so. It has only been since joining our group of friends and more that I have been able to even write that I have feelings. So, again....thank you for sharing with me...and yes it is with me as sometimes I feel each post is directed directly to me. Take care all and remember...always..... SMILE as it is the best defense of what life hands you at times.
