Well, Thank you, Thomas. Superb, huh? Tremendous, too? Two out of three words that are pretty damn good. I don’t know about that third one, though. That’s one word I kind of like to avoid.

Thanks again, Thomas,
FD/K

It comes exactly when it means to. Sometimes when we’re not looking. Beautiful poem

Exactly, Willow. And, I think too, this “unexpected love” is or becomes the love of your life!! Thanks for your kind words, Willow, you and they are much appreciated.

Both beautiful and brilliant… and when it’s unexpected it’s more fulfilling and overwhelming… and… right.
