I've always wondered what the fates have in store for me. Ambiguity. Metaphorical death. Sounds like they are referring to me. You put such depth in to this and it is great!

You never know what's around the corner Swartz...."it could all turn on a dime" ;). I always used to think 3 was a tricky number, I'm learning it is fascinating. I will leave that one up in the air ... for discerning readers to mull over.

The Borromeam Rings.

"The three Borromeam Rings are three rings that are interlocked. If any single ring is removed, the two remaining rings will fall apart. This has been used as a symbol of “strength in unity” for centuries in many parts of the world."

I know, I learnt that quickly from the collaboration with you. I think that takes some discipline, but you say it (Life) flows more fluidly for you in 3 lines. Can you imagine how difficult that was for me to write succinctly in 3 lines, I cannot compact life fluidly into 3 lines...you are very gifted, but somehow I am aware life in 3 lines for anyone is never that simple.

I like to write in threes. Life seems to flow more fluidly in three lines for me.

Biblically. "The number 3 biblically represents divine wholeness, completeness and perfection. If there ever was a desire to highlight an idea, thought, event or noteworthy figure in the Bible for their prominence, the number 3 was used to put a divine stamp of completion or fulfillment on the subject."

"Does the number 3 signify something spiritually important?" hmmm, very interesting.

K,M. Do you think K, Salsedo, may have been referring to me? Ascot Street? But happening way before then - 19 Davenport, standing with LJB (before departure), footsteps back staircase mid afternoon. Then you, Bruntnell Street, shadows. I am still trying to work out the "Face in the Fire Place", Ascot St. Perhaps mystery in this instance is a 'good' thing. But obviousy, 'messages' to 3. Love Nan, le Loco. x
