Beautiful, warm, inspiring post, Eric.

 

And I do hope you get to read " Out on a Leash. "

 

Just as I hope you get to go out on a leash yourself.

 

I think you would benefit from some fresh air.

 

Thanks to Shirley (who's name I love to type), I

realized that I was you in one of my past

incarnations.

 

My eyes crossed, and something went through me

like a shot of penicillin.

 

Unfortunately, I never was able to uncross my eyes.

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;

 

Coral is far more red than her lips' red;

 

If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

 

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

 

 

I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,

 

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;

 

And in some perfumes is there more delight

 

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

 

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

 

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;

 

I grant I never saw a goddess go;

 

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

 

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

 

As any she belied with false compare.

 

 

.. wof!
