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".

The Gift of Peace - by Anita


Time does not impede the burst of sunshine
    the flowers' renewal
       the streams upward turn

Time gives us the space
    to roll with the wind
       to watch the rising tide
          to stand in the rain

                    I needed time to heal, time to reflect,
   time to rest.
          all these gifts I received

and the greatest gift was peace

I sing unto the sky and thank G-d for this gift
      as the sun begins to rise

Another day in Paradise.
