I love the way you turn what has been perhaps thought of as a frustrating axiom for many of us (with its annoying inference of passivity!) into something so positively active in terms of hastening the arrival of those "good things", Dawn. We can be slow to learn that time isn't so much about hours/months distance ahead, but more about circumstantial "rightness". As always, so much wrung from so few words. Excellent! :)) xx

Dawn - Enjoyed your appropriately titled "To Ride A Wave" and its expression of the paradox of the fortunes of life which often begin one way and end in another as in:

Although it seemed as though life had played

a cruel and bitter trick,

he now moves forward with grace

Very well said, and the whole poem would make a great sampler framed to put on the wall of an office or den. I feel, even though it is not, that you wrote it for me and I am sure others will feel that way too and that is a good thing.
