Memories like water flow nicely in and out of our consciousness. Your thoughts flow onto the page like smooth ripples, thank you for sharing this edible line.

And swiftly may the river flow; circular may the 'eddies' go. ~ Leave it to 'Beaver' (Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Eddie Haskell is no longer amongst the living. TV Antennas are flying at half-mast, I hear).

Sara, Thank you, but I forgot the tease. Your gift for writing prose has never diminished except in Hexaverse. I learned a little and felt alot from your poem 'Our Love'. -Richard

Paul, Thank you, though trying to forget. Excerpt from the best river poem ever, "Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see" -Johnny Mercer - Henry Mancini
