A Primed Pump

speak out silence hangs unproductively *if you are not part of the solution, you're part of the problem act with mercy and kindness but, do act non-the-less you were born with mind and spine, so soldier on doing what needs be done 2,3,5,11,13,17 *Philosophy Of Eldridge Cleaver [1935-1998]

Unspoken kindness just lingers in the air. Poor lost souls who never know you care. Good heart and soul Debbie.

I so see YOU in this :) I like the simplicity of this message. Was it intentional? Hmmm... like... yo, this isn't rocket science, its simple mathematics. one soul plus one action has a sum that holds no bounds? Yes? I think that Su will really enjoy this, too. Will send you a soupie shortly. Took an hour to get the girl to sleep tonight and I doubt she will stay that way. Her nose is stuffy and the mist machine wakes her... love, Dee

This is a wonderfully truthful write my friend! I definitely agree with the part of the line, "...do act non-the-less" we get too complacent with our lives at times and don't go beyond our comfort zone! What a delightful and awesome piece, Great Work!!
