Dear Eric,
Thank you for the kind words and I, in turn, always like to reciprocate and give a little attention to your excellent site. In fact, I just posted a blog yesterday, prompted by your comment above, about having stopped by to find nothing new. I needed to hear that. So thank you, my friend.
All good tidings to you, dear friend, and may calm and happiness envelop you.
Take care,
a grateful pal, Paul ๐ ๐ ๐

Dear Eric,
A lovely addition to your oeuvre, and your haiku certainly resonates. I could not resist, and here is my attempt:
Echoes of the Heart
Sonorous pulses
Wail deep within riven veins
Palpable tears well.
Yours, however, is not so bleak. Always a hint of light trembles near crevices cloven by Melancholia. Always a pleasure, dear friend to read your words.
Warm wishes,
Paul

Dear Paul,
Hope all is well. I drop by your blog at least once a week but notice no new posts. I suppose the house and job(s) is keeping you out of ‘trouble’ ๐ Shall drop again soon.
Love your haiku – a little bleak as you say. I write about dark matters too – but more because I love Light and therefore do not shun the Dark. Hope this made sense. ‘riven veins’ – nice.
Whenever you visit, you’re always so generous with your time and contributions – my readers and I are blessed.
Keep well my friend and all good thoughts keep you company,
Eric

I like that hope fills the cracks, rather than bitterness or anger.

When cracks are rent, it’s our choice how we fill them – better that hope and love cements.

Wish it is true physically also, so we need not be subject to the mercy of our infamous heart surgeons and pay through our nose, if we can afford. Just fill the crack with light and there is hope.
