Such a wistful insightful poem, LBJ. A reverie of thoughtfulness delivered in a thimble portion. Here is an accompanying serene song to elevate pair sail w/this evocative poem. It's titled appropriately: "Aunt Thursday" by Darrell Barnes. Love this poem. Love and peace always. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrh4fY0i-zI

there is something to what you say, the way things seem to weave themselves into space and time...interesting for me is the Bard was born on the same day as I was..."Thou'st spoken right, Tis true"

the beginning of a circle is the moment of its conception...

'twas reading The Bard, Will, the other night. To quote his sage words, "The wheel is come full circle", used in a different context in his play, but in general, means the point at which I have arrived where possibly some questions may be answered.

Very interesting to me FP. My mother died on the 18/9, my daughter was born on the 18/9 (many years later; of course G arrived 2 weeks later than the scheduled date and it took me 3 days to give birth to her), both occurred on a Saturday. There is more to all of this than any of us will know until we reach The Bardo, where I believe, we all meet up again with those we love, who travelled there before us, to escort us through to where we travel next. Of course, that is my belief, others will have different takes on it all. x
