  1. Thanks a million. I’m glad the images and impulses got your mind on its toes.
  2. You’re very kind.
  3. There’s another excellent reason to keep the door to the basement firmly closed. I’m afraid my Texas two-step would embarrass the entire state. But in the give and take of life and love, perhaps it might be forgiven.
  4. I’m very glad this little quartet moved you. The image of a stately galliarde around the kitchen island makes me smile. Thank you!
  5. If not supper, then breakfast the morning after. Thank you very much for accompanying me to the dance!
  6. My ink-stained fingers testify to the many jotted rhymes from which these were selected. Thank you for reading this, and especially for your kind and delightful response.
  7. And now it's a quaint dance that occasionally make an appearance at early music festivals and orchestral arrangements.
  8. Like Noah, I am immensely fond of ice cream sandwiches. I hope there will be enough for me, too.
  9. If I could dance a sarabande, perhaps we’d measure, hand to hand, our paces on the gleaming floor together, confident and sure; If I could mark the minuet, I’d bolder be, try not to fret, but fix my eyes upon your own while yet my heart beats, overthrown; If I could tread a bright courant, appearing suave and nonchalant, perhaps you’d fathom my disguise and my dissembling not despise, for if my blood trips in gavott

    I liked this story very much. It neither papered over the damage done to Stevie, nor did it paint all religion in dark, forbidding colors. Instead, it offered us hope and healing.

    You give hope to us who have lost both our dear ones and our dark hair. Thanks.
  12. Thank you very much!
  13. Thank you for ascending the hill to watch the midsummer dawn with me. I’m glad you found it enjoyable to rise so early and watch the summer awaken.
  14. Thank you for joining me on a predawn climb up the hill. Only at midsummer will early mist mix with the birdsong at first light, I’m very glad you liked it.
  15. I’m very happy you liked this. These long midsummer days are among my favorite times of year.
  16. Thank you for coming to the hilltop with me.
  17. Thank you so much for reading this and for sharing your reactions. The tarot illustration is an image I hadn’t thought of, but it’s certainly very apt. I love it.
  18. Come walk with me beneath the veil that shrouds the eastward hill and blankets field and fir in shadows thick; no stars to see but swirling mists that hide the deer and waking birds to tease the ear, So if you will our way through tall and dewy grasses pick an upward sloping course our feet may steer while all lies still wrapped warm in domesticity and dreamland’s restful reverie, But breathing quick we climb the r
  19. Glad you’re here. I know you will find some good things worth reading soon.
  20. The news of Carlos’ loss left me stunned. He was the first person to comment on my first short story, teasing that he’d taken my comment cherry. I will miss bantering and sparring with him over phrasing or syntax, and his always honest, yet good-humored conversations. The world will be dimmer and more silent without him. I salute you, Carlos; I will miss you, my friend. I see, but no words form; I read, yet meaning eludes me, even as my hands turn dog-eared pages, old friends you wrote into the fabric of my life stay mute because your pen lies still; I mourn our brief friendship and weep.

    I’m very glad you found Rick and Gus. They continue to be a ray of sunshine in a darkening world to me. Thanks a million for reading, and for your comments.

    Thirty-Five

    Poor Liam; it seems as if anyone needing a convenient scapegoat or target takes aim at him. The loud Mr. Roud is about to use Liam to save his own posterior in a legal or civil action, I’d wager. I worry for Aiden, too - hope his union and Janet will hold fast against an administrative onslaught.

    Celebration

    What a beautiful way to be remembered: not just an echo, but the song of life still sung.

    Fool Me Once

    I’m so glad you enjoyed this story enough to want more. That warms any author’s heart. Oliver and Martin will surely have more to say to one another, but their conversation hasn’t come to me yet. Thanks so much for reading and for your response.
  25. Hello John, thanks for introducing yourself! I hope you will find a happy home here at GA. There are many wonderful writers and readers here to discover. Thanks again for joining and making yourself known. Parker
