Thank you Richard. Sadness does caress my thoughts. I know there is a reason for everything. Sometimes, a heart finds comfort in knowing that fact. I appreciate you. ~ Brandy

Hi Brandy, wonderful thoughts to read this morning. Sometimes it is better when the one departs, leaving a stronger one in place. Most interesting thoughts to peruse this morning. In the end the math does work, a beautiful soul remains. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs....Mike. XX

Dear Vladislav, sometimes it does make things better- when one departs. However, other times- it leaves moments empty. Thank you for your kind words. Your thoughts are appreciated. Happy Saturday to you as well. ~ Brandy

wow. I'm in awe of your creative thought process. I am feeling this.

Brandy Nicole
Date: 10/16/2018 11:12:00 PM

Thank you Becca. I was thinking you might feel this, as these emotions are real and subtraction has occurred. Sometimes that's a good thing, but not in this case. ~ Brandy

two minus one is all of you... such an empowering poem if you are into self-care, never mind the science of math...well done, brandy!..huggs

Brandy Nicole
Date: 10/16/2018 7:01:00 PM

True. And if one minus one is nothing, plus one again- equals one. Sigh. It still leaves one out. Thank you nette for your kind words. I appreciate you. Hugs, Brandy

'In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base.'...your poetry is like that triangle...where the base is your imagination and the two equal sides are...well, I'll leave that up to you...great poetic equation Brandy...love & math...^WW^

Brandy Nicole
Date: 10/16/2018 11:03:00 AM

Is that so?? My poetry is like a Triangle?? :) I will let my imagination linger in this thought for a while. Hopefully my thoughts won't get tangled up. Ohhh, they did once- in the October Moon poem. :) You always know how to make me smile. Thank you My Warrior with Wings. Love and Addition. Not subtraction. ~ Brandy

The misguided ones need to depart anyway..the math does work. Cleverly said, Brandy.

Brandy Nicole
Date: 10/16/2018 10:53:00 AM

Perhaps. Or, the misguided ones need to study the equation a little more- see where they may have made a mistake. (Just my simple thinking though). Thank you Vijay. I appreciate you and your thoughts. ~ Brandy

It is always sad to see the good ones go especially when others made them feel unwelcome. Nicely penned, Brandy. All the best my friend. John

Yes, I agree John. Subtracting words makes a difference, when you are leaving someone out. You and your thoughts are always appreciated. ~ Brandy

Some adding and subtracting has been done, yet- it seems the subtraction has won. In this case. ~ Brandy
