and i am here at my 2000 post!
i would like to thank all of you for a very interesting, fun, and emotional forum. this is my absolute favourite bit of writing and i will borrow it, with thanks to mr. steinbeck.
you came upon me carving some kind of little figure out of wood and you said, "why don't you make something for me?"
i asked you what you wanted and you said, " a box."
"what for?"
"to put things in."
"what things?"
"whatever you have," you said.
well, here's your box. nearly everything i have is in it and it is not full. pain and excitement are in it, and feeling good or bad and evil thoughts and good thoughts-the pleasure of design and the indescribable joy of creation. and on top of these are all the gratitude and love i have for you.
and still the box is not full.
to those who are out of sight, but never out of mind- my hope is that our paths will cross again.
to those who are newer-may we cross paths more often.
and to those who have become a part of my day-hey! you are blocking the path.
with deepest affection,
jenn
