Notes About The Poem

- The Pharmacy of the Soul -


                       When I have walked through all the forests of life
                                   I do not want to change anything




                                  (a metaphorical picture of life)

"The Pharmacy Of The Soul" pulled me swiftly through open door to nature, and there I leaned against that tree, and smiled with your words and breathe deep. Thank you.

I don't think I would either Anne, the good and the bad are your memories, mistakes we've made we've learnt from them. Tom

Don't remove it, Anne-Lise. I understood that it's not about changing anything in the paths you've walked in life..
