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".

G-d for sale - Anita Holzberg


starling remarks
before the dawn
before the lawn becomes green
before the sea of memory takes over
before the clover grows
before the pots of flowers open their
mouths
before the intention of living
stirs one's mind and spirit

beyond belief
in tune with the wind on the leaves
on clotheslines
on birds flirting with sky
on telephone wires
who hires
G-d?
G-d for sale
no bargain here
He makes us work for what we have
no sentence too great

beyond
what we can fathom
in our slightest movement
beyond life as we know it.

Anita S. Holzberg/poet/teacher/songwriter
