can be said that everything now came from a past and everything in a future will come from now and a past. The only thing that can make a future unpredictable
is a change... ]]></description>

Lavender and black leads.

I&#39;m ready for the potential

of dancing energy to waltz with me.
<br>
My arms have flayed

enough over the years.
<br>
The forever knowing
<br>
to be-
<br>
keeps rocking my senses.
<br>
There are deeper
<br>
things than
<br>
the churning of
<br>
the flesh on an earthly floor.
<br>
<br>
Done...with doing...
<br>
I tingle
<br>
to become-
<br>
one with the wind beneath my arms.

nature, and was a delight to know; a true joy as a friend.  May she rest in peace, the pain and suffering of her ALS finally over.  She&#39;s been an
inspiration to all.
