Between Friends: In This Moment

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 this moment

when sky begets sky

when swallows touch other trees

time moves us

we are never the same

I don a thicker skin to ward off the deamons

I enter into a peaceful retreat

where meditation and bliss are encountered

In almost 70 years I review my life

so much of it was poetry

4 lovers

2 grand kids

2 daughters

1 husband

published somewhat

shadows the day with pain in the knee

I keep on going

like a deer stepping slowly

always getting to my destination

How about You?
