You've painted the circle of life here for the mind's eye. Wonderfully done, Linda.

Life cycles... beautifully expressed, Linda. Much enjoyed.

Very powerful, Linda, and excellently executed and "snapped" in your usual cinematic and highly visual, journalistic way. You certainly know which telling details to include to give the poem lift and that certain sense of je ne sais quoi. I could picture and smell the whole thing - which makes it all the more penetrating when I seriously consider the weight of your words a propos my own mortality... but ain't digital photography grand?! I was given a camera by my family for my birthday a few weeks' back... haven't quite spared the time to work it out, yet, but the big wide world of putting stuff onto computer is wunderbar - and the crystal results an absoloute dream - like the quality of this write!

Reading NOTHING STANDS STILL is much like looking at a one-act five-dimensional play with the souls of characters motivated by both the simple and the sublime while time marches on waiting for no one. A poignantly wise and visually engaging write.

Awesome write... a lifetime of memories and dreams, wishing and hoping to come alive again... with a grandchild, all do come true and once again everything is young and new...

Time sure don't wait.
How many think we own our property.
We borrow it for a short time, being conned by commerce.
Great pondering poem/message
