Between Friends: A sign - Anita Holzberg

Two woman, Anita Holzberg and Ann Wainwright met over the internet with Bill Costley,

their common friend, whose wife Carolin had been Ann's good friend. Starting in

June '09, Anita sent a Cupcake poem to Ann's website cakecakecake, after seeing

the photo of cupcakes. The poem was about her grandson's first birthday party. Ann

liked that and it was the start of a wonderful exchange of poems from Anita to Ann and

Ann with color, photos, and lay-out savvy, presented them to the blog. Now, in 2010,

the two women so alike in spirit and interests, have started BetweenFriends, a new blog

site where they can combine ideas about their worlds. Ann lives in Northern UK

(Teesside). Anita lives in Northern California, Sunnyvale, (Silicon Valley where all the

computers are.) We share our lives on this blog and hope you will comment and share

yours too, dear readers and enjoy the "ride".

In these moments

when the dark rainy night

finds Picchu the cat

hankering to come in

when the quiet of the quiet

house

hears a pin drop

when I wait for a sign any sign

of Jim's recovery

and there it is.

He ate regular food and swallowed

after 50 days

One might call it "a fighter who

has not given up", a story that is

unfolding, a sign from God that he

is not ready for Jim to go.

In this quiet arena

I rejoice

I put it out into the universe

prayers help big time

love and prayer

that's where I am at.
