Love I

be the embracer

    Hi qazse,

    Nice to see you active again, if only momentarily.

    Thanks for the words and photo… to the point.

    Regards

    i like this because it doesn’t seem romantic.
    i mean, it could be read that way, but to me it seems more forceful and thoughtful than romance.

    Like a command- Be active! Reach out! Take a chance and make a difference in the world!

    How nice to see you guys!

    fencer – isn’t that a wonderful painting. At times it reminds me of two loving giraffes, one alert – the other curious yet cautious.

    Roberta – I am flattered. Is this award coming by email or pay pal? 🙂

    Christine – I like that it works on many levels. I also like your portrayal of the command.

    Peace

    love is more action than anything else, so the command idea works well for me too.

    I see so many things but mostly it reminds me that in life, we have regrets.
    There are ways to avoid this.
    great job

    howard – yes, action both inward and outward.

    kim – that is a perspective I hadn’t yet realized.

    Dr.G – my condolences to all of Illinois.

    Now that I think more deeply about Kim’s perspective – it is wellspring from which the the haiku came.
