The way you listen, thank you.

Sometimes (perhaps when he is bored O' just sends me wordy spills about "life, the universe & everything", they are such a delight, they make me "spill" back... This is one of the spills from last night (took me ages to get around to responding, sorry O')... When I read it back I thought of all of you, I am so spoiled to have such lovely connections with people here, & with a different flavour, I feel like this about you all, all those lovely folk who make an effort so generously to make contact. We are so lucky, all of us, I think... I love O's writing when they are just for me I am completely inspired to just spill away in response & LOVE what he pulls from my pen lit by what has spilled from his... We all feed each other in such wonderful potent ways... I think I shall have to begin doing one for each of you though, you all have such brilliant & unique qualities... So far, Ann & Orgami... more to come I think, I have already written some in honour of a few, but we will see... I can't help it. You bring me such joy & inspiration all of you.

That's just it, I am so lucky, I do so much in this world, very little of it brings much money, but I am incredibly rich because I get to do stuff that makes other people happy... but here, it's you guys that make ME happy.... I love it so much, love reading you, getting glimpses of your life on all different levels, love seeing your skills & strengths develop, love the courage I see when you expose your weakness in poem & face it so bravely... it's the best xxx Anni "Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.

My darling Ann, well everybody knows now that you have an incredible skill that I happen to also completely adore, you work differently from O', yet you put out so richly into this world dear one... You are precious, as precious can be, I could eat you with all that creative adornment you express.... My lovely Neo forest nymph... Love ya to bits Anni "Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Totally understand the brevity dearest Beki angel... am about to scoot to get my boy an x-ray, he fell off his bike while at his das & his arm is aching 5 days later... Thanks for the time though, I know what it takes, it's hard to squeeze in Have missed you a bit... I have to share you more now you are ever more popular... loving what you are doing. You well know you are right up there with my gorgeous bunch of muses, aren't we so lucky... & yes, O' is a pretty extraordinary muse indeed.. I could never take it for granted... so wish I could just write all day! Loads of love girl xxx Anni "Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Hey Boss, thanks so much... I'm pretty new here too, though very addicted... & I don't know much about poetry either... been writing on my own most of my life never thought I'd be sharing it with anyone except through songs occassionally (hey well picked by the way, I'm impressed... I suspect somewhere deep down, most of what I write has a song nestled within its heart). I was really impressed reading your work, it has a fantastic storyline quality to it, I have not seen often, like a cross between poem & story (duh, guess that last was superfluous!)... You weave stories really well, I look forward to more. Cheers Anni "Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Hi you, glad you dropped in on your poem!!! See guys, how he just makes the most simple mundane things pull into focus like a beautifully framed photograph in sepia... inspiring one to look again at something common through eyes framed in guilded wonder... Ahhh I love it. Gotta race myself... & am tired also, but filled with gratitude, thanks for being so inspiring O'... it's this Neo habit I reckon.. hard to resist for me. Ta for dropping in O' & hope you don't mind sharing, but see how we all agree on your brilliance... lucky us to have you. Take care friend, get more sleep! xx Anni "Out beyond the ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there.
