    Always,always you inspire goodness and gladness within the universe,you are a beautiful woman with a beautiful spirit and the recent wonderful tradition of Thanksgiving ( which sadly we don't have within the UK) has reminded me to give thanks when and where I find them every day and within everyway,so I thankyou for what you share and for what you care about and encourage,you are one of the sweetest spirits I have had the pleasure to meet and greet in cyberspace and our poetic place of creativity,I knew from our first interaction re Tara that you were a special soul,may you always walk with no load heavier than you can carry,many blessings,Yvette

    Serenity is rare these days. I hope my poem was the right kind of serenity, I have doubts. Did you by the way know Maa means earth in Finnish? Beautiful name

      amazing that Maa means earth in finnish - it also means mother in sanskrit ... I guess since the earth is our mother, this makes perfect sense ... I chose this username since it represents the initials of my name MA-rion MA-ntel ...
      I am sure that your poem is perfect for the contest, because it came from your heart ...

    Congrats to all here who found the time to write of that which calms the soul. I look forward to reading each of the others recognized here. Much appreciation to Maa for continuously coming-up with themes such as this that offer the chance to explore our deeper sides. Blue
