Abundance

So fragile this petal the earth
as fragile as
love.
--Mirabai (India, 1498-1550).


Delight in the company of the beloved.
Rain, rain, rain.
Unnecessary, lavish
abundance of rain
and laughter.  


I have the intention to come back to your kind, loving, generous comments soon. I have read them, every one. Meanwhile, if you have time for an Extra, here's one of Sue's self-portraits.
