Note: Recent invasions of this blog have led me to enable "comment moderation," which means that in future your comments won't appear until I've approved them. I didn't want to do this, but the blog would otherwise be accessible to hucksters, hatemongers, porn peddlers, and degenerates of all shapes and sizes.

And a warning to all you bloggers: Word verification doesn't work.

__Not only the geographical distance can be seen, the stars can illustrate a philosophical
distance/difference, as well.

Kristin Riggs said...: Romantic notion, but sad. Here's a happier thought-both of you are seeing the same stars! Makes that person who is far away seem closer somehow. I'm hopeless like that. :) Love this one!!!; 9:32 PM
Shara said...: the stars to my mind are years, experiences...the reality that puts barriers between you and others; 12:20 PM
Bill said...: Thanks for those thoughtful and stimulating comments. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate the holiday, and, whether you celebrate it or not, may you find something to be thankful for.; 8:15 PM
Devika Jyothi said...: Happy Thanksgiving Bill :)
thankful -- I always am,

With you kind permission, Bill....Not to use it as a space for an exchange of religious thoughts....But lines I firmly believe in, that makes me be Thankful for everything, (its from The Gita) --

"What have you lost that makes you cry? What did you bring to this earth that you have lost? You came empty handed and will die empty handed? Today what is yours yesterday was someone else's and tomorrow will be somebody else's.

Whatever happens - happens for good; Whatever is happening - is happening for good; Whatever will happen - will happen for good. Do not worry about the past or the future - live in the present."

For my belief system I believe GOD is one...and that is LOVE,
