We received some much needed rain on Sunay...I see different reminders of different points in the past all of the time.

Re:Shobana
More people are taken ill in England by not wrapping up in the winter than in Russia. People think it is not cold, but the damp air chills I wear mountain clothes because they breathe and are light to wear. Personally I think we shall get a nice Autumn.

A lot of serious thoughts in there.I was living in Cleveland, Ohio when he landed on the moon, sober a few months at that time and went in to see the event in a bar where I had a coke. That was rather a lovely tribute to Neil Armstrong. The rest of all the pieces of your poem leave me with a multitude of varied thoughts, not quite certain how they all translate, buy life lives there.

God bless Armstrong's soul and I suppose when he landed on the moon, he saw the heavens before him?? That boy who couldn't resist holding the girl's hand sounds shy. Thanks for letting me know that its still raining there - my daughter is going to Bristol by the second week of Sept. she would have to report there. Am sort of getting her some stuff to put up with the cold - woolen stuff. Well, lets see how it goes.

Re:Pat
Pat I should have explained beforehand one tries to be too clever, I should not have tried to mention such an achievment in a banal context. We both feel the wonder and extreme danger that man will take to explore the unknown. Thank you

Re:
Yes Adnohr as one paper said he was 50years beyond his time and of course the other men who took the flight, sadly it would have been forgotten had the project failed. Sometimes Adnohr we cannot move in our minds when conflict is too potent.

Re: bca
Well Bill I usually grow the white flowered stringless variety the birds used to peck the red flowers. Unwins are still here but advertise sweet peas mainly, I am afraid I have not planted a lot of my seeds it has been too wet this year and slugs need a lot of attention.I know you miss getting the dirt under your nails.

YMost of my life I grew scarlet runner beans. The original two came taped in a Jack and the Beanstalk (Giant Killer) birthday card. I’ve eaten them blanched with butter on top. I’ve grown the shorter and different color ones. I received the last two types by mail from Thompson and Morgan and I think Unwins. Unwins pulled out of the States. I ordered by mail a lot of seed for many flowers and vegetables from Stokes of Canada and Buffalo, New York too. BC-A, Bill’s R®st

I expect Neil Armstrong's name will be remembered forever. There is nothing to refute by historians, and no politics that could sway the truth - he was the first man to walk on the moon! Your poem is sweet and longing for a past, maybe closure, that didn't happen. The pain of lost love is sometimes too exquisite to let go.

I apologize CCT. I did see the tribute, Armstrong's view of earth
from the moon. It has all the markers of your nostalgic touch, the fine dust of history that blurs sharp edges, lends enchantment. But my short-term memory was caught by the later lines, the sadness between them, and it is I who must apologize for failing to give credit where credit is due. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, and his footprints are still there on the moon. It will be full in four days, and if we squint, maybe we can see...

I was in Okinawa when he Landed, the natives were very suspicious, and pride in country swelled amoung the ranks. My clinic is just a few short blocks from the old house where I was raised, I often drive by hoping to see a different past.

Re: From these poetic clues we could make a story, with
Pat one was a tribute to Neil Armstrong. The second one was true and ruined my life at the time. A bit abstract but I have not got the strength of character to say it as it was.Sorry

Some how from all your poetry I get a theme of uncertainty that you felt
that love would /could last for you, whether you could keep the magic. Sad really.

From these poetic clues we could make a story, with
conflict and resolution, good guys and bad, and an ending that leaves the reader only half-certain she knows how the story resolves itself. Peace!
