I am, at once, set free and embraced …
Invigorated with Breath from afar,
and gentle Pulse, so near.
Knowing peaceful Solitude in the absence
of Any, requiring response or engagement …
Whilst accompanied by Hosts ...
content to share infinite Accommodations.
I am visited by unassuming Voices,
of present Thought, and distant Reflection …
Neither demanding priority, nor rank …
Both content to simply dwell.
Ne’er can be any doubt of Eternity’s presence …
Nor this Moment’s eternity.

Beautiful words, just beautiful, John-Michael!
such a magnificent creation certainly does lend one's thoughts to contemplation of the bigger picture, doesn't it? thank you for sharing.
You just made me feel very good, Calli, My Dear. I thank You for your sweet kindness.
Lovingly ...
Mine is the Pleasure, in opening a Moment's window to the "bigger picture," My Darling Lime.

Great use of capital letters to create word stress. Do you often use that technique?
Ah! Thank You, Ian, My Friend, for your involvement. I am most complimented and pleased! I, in fact, use the, somewhat archaic, device of capitalizing words that I intend as nouns as opposed to when they are implemented as adjectives. I do, genuinely, appreciate your caring notice.
Gratefully ...
John-Michael,
your words are every bit as deep as the photograph - one could easily lean forward and fall into both. (but your words are softer!)
love your pen, Sir.
Chuck
I am glad that You accepted my 'invitation' into this Moment and Place of reflection. Your encouragement and generous kindness are a treat to my Spirit.
Loving thanks to You, Chuck ...
I am enjoying the ebb and flow of this peaceful image accompanied by the ebb and flow of your thoughts. Thank you for this moment of stillness.
I could not be more delighted in your sensing of the tidal ebb and flow that I felt as I gave myself to this image, Darling Suza. When I manage to communicate the entirety of an experience, I am happily satisfied in my effort. I thank you for allowing yourself to 'listen' to the 'undertow' in the pacing and pulse of this moment.
Lovingly ...
Ah, lovely, indeed. I have the same sorts of feelings concerning Checker Marathons, a more mundane vehicle, yet the stuff of my dreams!
Thank you Jim, my SulDog Friend. (You will note that I plucked this 'comment' from here, and 'parked' it on "I Fancy Romance," where I think that You intended it.
Lovingly ...
