Nora, You know I always stop by and I always want to comment... sometimes I do not know what to say, so I remain silent... at other times there is nothing I can say, so I remain silent... and then there are times like this when your words simply leave me speachless...

Marty -- Thank you in comment and silence. The Spanish have an expression for such a bereft-of-words feeling, "sin palabras," or without words. It is high praise.

John-- I'm so happy that you'll be featured on Curtis' site! Well-deserved. Though I didn't recommend you for anything other than your worthiness, I'd be honored to receive your books. I don't want to post my address here, but if you'll give me your e-mail address, I'll forward it.
Thanks again.

Life's placid paradox: One leaves, as one has arrived... to say good bye. Heartful, Nora.

You gathered my meaning, Magyar. I like "placid paradox." Thank you.
