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".

Up Early - Anita

Up early
  the sky does not hold hands with sun
  the stars flicker yet before they fade 
  the house is quiet as a mouse
  the coffee brews in exact rhythm

I hold these moments
   between being and non being
   between the celebrated sea rolling in
   between the spaces that clear the mind 
   between my goings and comings
   between my settling and unsettling

The world waits for no one
Watch me walk
Wait for me.
