Interesting write filled with wisdom, David, thought provoking. Personally though, I believe love ameliores, rather than implores. I think need implores. Unfortunately "ameliores" is French. :) In English, it would be ameliorate. (bummer) Yours is an interesting intake non-the-less.

Can't believe my "friends" thought it was fine for PD to slam me when I never said anything public against her. Very sad to see you among them.

You express well the trials of falling in love. Like the form you used to convey your messages concisely and accurately, David. I leave for a vacation tomorrow and won't be back for a couple weeks. I may check in from time to time to read poetry, but most of my hours will be spent with family and old friends. Hope you're having a great summer! Love, Carolyn
