Fabulous pacing -- it's almost as breathless to read as you express the experience was for you. Nice use of the interrogtive for emphasis. I like the way you take the reader on the ride with you, which is consistent in your work. Quite a lovely homage to your counterparts as well. Thanks so much for sharing.

| Christine, I had not known you had an issue with confined places and spaces...even the cracking of the window gives one that little bit of power over those confinements we must bear...I do it so as to not block out one of those senses (hearing) that developed as a routine and via experience from being a police officer through life...such as shots fired, squealing tires, accidents nearby or shouts of help. I can imagine the thrill and excitement and subsequent reward of meeting new friends in person that you have known through paper in the past. It is good to hear that you found the trip well rewarding. |

| Facing fears is awesome. About your driving with the window cracked a bit, it's a good thing especially when you have your airconditioner on. Because the airconditioner blows benzine(?sp) straight at you and that is bad. The cure is a cracked window. So good for you. Plus, I always drive with my window open a bit, too. What a write. Love it. Liz |

| A beautiful analogy and metaphor of those butterflies of both anticipation and slight nervousness, Christine, as we make a precious thing a proper reality. I love how you also give us the "red wheelbarrow" (to mix me mets!) of the need for a slightly open car window as well - gives us the sense of speed, direction and journeying: key markers in your cleverly sculpted work here, something that comes upon us fast - like anxiety, panic and fear. All dispelled, of course, in the GRAND ARRIVAL! Brilliant! Reminds me of meeting Andy Turner for the first time; I would say my heart was in my mouth, but he'd probably say my dinner was in my throat - JUSJOKIN!!! :)))) So glad it was a magical experience and one that will live on in the bonds that have been further deepened and forged. Fabulous capture, thank you. xx |
