We have shared some fine adventures you and I.

Traveling together in  parallel lives

Crisscrossing often

all types of terrain.

We meet again here

today.

Sharing company before the sun rises.

I take a little pride in that.

Wonderful images for contemplation my friend, only deficient in it's rarity.
Debbie G. Sep 15, 2009, 7:23am EDT
Thanks Wes! I would say I'll work on that but sometimes good intentions just don't materialize. :)

Sweet Mona. You are most welcome. :)

Crisscrossing paths--can you see the paths we once followed on horseback? Those are the images I see when I think of our paths--wooded, peaceful, with underlying living currents, emotion-filled, wonder-filled. Our paths are so like those with each twist we have new and wonderful experiences; with each twist, we find we've connected once again. Thanks for the gentle imagry to start a otherwise hectic day. Many blessings. Thank you.

Joyce, what a warmth you brought to this morning.

That is often a big part of out lives -- "crisscrossing paths" and never knowing what will become of the chance encounters.

Debbie, when you wrote this, you likely had a specific person in mind. But you know what? I feel it applies to me, too. Thank you.
Debbie G. Sep 15, 2009, 4:34pm EDT
Verie, I so value our friendship. I'm glad you know that. :)

Debbie G. Sep 15, 2009, 4:34pm EDT
Thanks, Sue.

It must have been a heart felt company I imagine?
Debbie G. Sep 15, 2009, 10:41pm EDT
yes, heart felt. :)
Tory H. Sep 16, 2009, 12:34pm EDT
Very nice. :)
Madame Donna C. Sep 17, 2009, 11:10am EDT
Well, I'm certainly feeling gratified to have met you and had our lives crisscross! Happy Birthday, dear one.
Debbie G. Sep 17, 2009, 11:47am EDT
Madame D you know how very dear you are to me. Thank you for the Birthday wish. I'm very glad to be here. :)

The beauty of this poem is that it is so universal. On first read, I thought of Shad, and all the adventures you shared, and then it blossomed into all the possibilities of those who've walked a way with you, both then and now.
Debbie G. Sep 17, 2009, 11:48am EDT
Thank you, Tonia. Beautiful comment that warms my heart.

I think anyone who reads this will think of someone in their life that could fit your words.
