You’ve defined nostalgia so effortlessly and seamlessly dear sara, we all go through that, i often feel nostalgia when i see old pictures of my son, and i tell him, ah i miss my little baby. Haha. He is so used to me saying that. How time flies is unbelievable, its like we dont even realize when time is fleeting. I absolutely love the way your words have that delicate touch which truly resonates. You are such a beautiful soul and writer that I absolutely enjoy reading. Sending you light always

thank you, kind Ink. I appreciate you and what you notice and feel with my poetry. I agree...I, too, don't realize time is fleeting until I look at pictures or visit a place from the past. I'm grateful my words resonated with you and that you enjoy reading my work. So appreciative. Have a splendid week, Sara
