Between Friends: We all Connect with the Great White River

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".

We connect with the great white river

that flows within us

The darkness and light

that floods morning-song

The tall trees whose roots go to the next

millennium

Politics aside

We ride the crest of a natural wonder

Can you hear the mockingbirds?

Can you see the heron

sliding on Shoreline marsh?

Can you blow thistle

and watch the seeds fall?

We connect with the rushing of the rain

the softness of a snow

I have been there

every morning

rehearsing your song,

dear Earth.

and that rehearsal brings

infinite peace.
