Sometimes . . .

by René Allen

 

 

 

Sometimes . . . You don't know what to make of a thing, a scene, a person, or pieces of your LIFE.  But, sometimes what you don't KNOW is too vast to grasp.

René Allen Apr 28, 2009, 10:29pm EDT
Hey Jan! ~ I like your descriptive words . . . " . . . awe and wonder!" . . . it's right in line with the words in this Snippet, "... too vast to grasp." Thank you for adding your thoughts.
Jan C. May 3, 2009, 3:14pm EDT
"Sometimes . . . You don't know what to make of a thing, a scene, a person, or pieces of your LIFE. But, sometimes what you don't KNOW is too vast to grasp."

I've been working on my book today and I was brought back to your snippet. Sometimes I think my life has been too vast to grasp...

I tagged along with my best friend to an out-of-state conference (I just had to pay for my flight) and we have had such an adventure it will be a chapter in my book! Maybe I'll make a post later tonight!

Thanks for writing such great words that do make us think - life is full of awe and wonder!
René Allen May 5, 2009, 11:39pm EDT
Hey Jan! ~ You and Wilhelmine fascinate me with your writings. I hope you have posted a Chapter from your book in here!

Thank you for what you've said, and I agree with you that life if full of AWE and WONDER! Wouldn't miss it for the world.

HUGS ~
Your Friend,
René

My Dear Poet Kitty-kin ~ I've been reading your Snippets! AWESOME works you've created to share with us. WE are so happy that you joined us!

WE have the BEST AUTHORS, WRITERS and POETS in Snippets ~ "Where WE WRITE in "30" words or less, and delete the rest". . . .

Snippets gives us the perfect place for instruction and a good sharing environment to learn how to EDIT our works. Plus, we've got GOOD FRIENDS in the Group. We love it when people come into the Group to learn to write in "30" words or less, and create Snippets that are educational, inspirational, and full of wisdom. We have some HUMOROUS Snippets too ~ ahhahah!

Thanks Poet Kitty-kin!
D. K. Jun 17, 2009, 11:45pm EDT

loved it!

reclaiming life
René Allen Jul 25, 2009, 4:03pm EDT
I must check out "Reclaiming Life" ~ Your poetics have a prophetic flair to them Master Poet Poddar.

Thank you for adding in your thoughts on this piece.

I'll let you know what I think (of course) about "Reclaiming Life" ~ I'm going over there now . . .
René Allen Jul 25, 2009, 4:08pm EDT
Okay ~ I went over via the LINK your provided Poddar, and I ended up (like I did with the other link), in some weird red zone ~ ahahah! When I find "Reclaiming Life" straight off Gather, I'll add the following comments to it . . .

"Very nice Poddar. I'm in the weird zone over here, so I don't know if this will post ~ We'll SEE..."
Howard b. Jul 25, 2009, 12:41pm EDT
Some things you might not want to know. Your words are so true. Thanks for sharing.
René Allen Jul 25, 2009, 4:10pm EDT
Nosey people may disagree with what you've just said Howard ~ However, I AGREE with you ~ L O L.

Thanks for commenting!
Dano C. Jul 25, 2009, 4:37pm EDT
There's always something unseen, as in this photo. So the chute off the side of the bend is? You know how curious a cat can be, and I usually find what's missing that I need to know. I would be walking on mountain passes hiking the trail, though, rather than climbing around.
René Allen Jul 25, 2009, 4:44pm EDT
Hi Dano!

"So the chute off the side of the bend is?" ~ Dano C.

Maybe a REVIVAL! L O L.

Interesting that you usually find what's missing and what you need to know...is that TRUE ALWAYS? Or are there some things that you still have left in the "OPEN" file? You could be geared to be a Researcher, or a Detective, or ...

Hiking is a GOOD thing. Climbing can be hazardous, but very rewarding if spiritual "ascension" results.

Thanks for adding in your thoughts on "Sometimes..."

Your Friend,
Rene
Arduinna Hunter Jul 25, 2009, 6:58pm EDT
So true.
René Allen Jul 26, 2009, 11:18am EDT
Hey Arduinna! Thanks for reading this one.
d d. Nov 1, 2009, 11:23am EST
with every "sometimes..." I have to go with my gut..and move forward trusting that I will do what's right for me.
René Allen Nov 1, 2009, 10:50pm EST
I like the way you think d d. Not getting stuck in the process of thinking on a thing when your gut has given you the answer is always safer that being in a state of indecision.

Thanks for commenting!
Gary (The Eclectic) Timothy Nov 1, 2009, 12:06pm EST
A thought worthy of every genre! Well done, Rene!

Thank you for posting to Science In An Eclectic Universe.
René Allen Nov 2, 2009, 12:28am EST
