31st December 2008. The last day of an extraordinary year. In few hours time an episode of a roller coaster ride will be over.

And all that will be left is nostalgia. All that will remain is the certainty of past. What we will see is a definite place in the history books; What we will remember is an unusual package of love, hate, betrayal .... friendships, bondings, break-ups ...... avulsions and havocs. What we will realise is how real life had presented itself in a garb of weird enchantment.

Tomorrow we will start to gamble again. And if we are courageous enough we will forswear all medial beliefs. We will put wager on the insignificant and evanescent lines of the palmate. Tomorrow we shall take the stage again .... Tomorrow we shall start all over again ...

And for you and me, we take each little step together ....

And in a year's time we would have covered a mile .....

The beauty of this virtual world is that there is no real clue or prediction for what the reader might encounter.

You must surely be a poet, a visionary and/or a writer or all of those things. Perhaps an astute business man:>)

The twists and turns I find in your words keep me alert to the possibility of a certain unexpected step that is energizing. Possibly a step into another reality. I like that.

I see that many others are the same in seeing the light in your writing. You have an audience...perhaps even a following.

The kind of active intelligence you possess with the probable
intuitive process is priceless.

You will likely think...this writer.. she does not know me. Of course you would be correct. On the other hand perhaps that is not the entire story.

I invite you, from this point on, perhaps not knowing you, to certainly and please post often.
It could be a gift to many you do not know you are giving and that is all ok.

In short, thank you.
Linda

Wonderful--beautifully written. Makes us contemplate the role of our collective will in the "garb of weird enchantment."
