hi janet m and carole, this is *seattle* audrey.  I know this wasnt my
thread, but I liked the way your words made me think janet m...:)  The idea
was poetically presented and I thought how true it is that wee hour ideas
are gone by morning. Some of my best musings are during the time when all
light is gone but a small one far off in my house. I wonder why this is ?
Distractions must interfere with ones ability to separate ones mind from the
day-to-day chores.  Isn't too bad that the practical mind seems to dominate
and the artist one we all have seems to fade in the day?
