Forever

Nobody lives forever. Everybody lives forever. You're right either way. -- doug smith

Have you ever thrown anything away and then regretted it?

Ever Have a Dog?

Ever have a dog that has passed on? If so, you miss that dog, don't you. Dogs are such wonderful creatures, such perfect examples of unconditional love. I'm mostly a cat person, but of the few dogs who have shared parts of my life, I miss them all. If you have a dog, give it some attention. Watch that tail wag with joy. Smile. -- doug smith

no surprise

is it any wonder our thoughts stack over-lapping on top of one another some vast library caught in an earthquake of dreaming out of order when was the last time you were truly alone? 25 July 1988
