Between Friends: A Poem by Anita (and a photo by Ann)

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 taking the oath of silence

I walk these floors

I do not complain

Life is bigger than pain

Life is bigger than sorrow

The inside spirit matters

Emily Dickinson wrote about her lovely

garden feeling pain every day

She was en-firmed

I sing to the trees

Open hearts

Open limbs

Carry me to another place

And the place is like a green meadow

No obstacles to walking

Just peace.

Anita Schiffman Holzberg
