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? original Message ----- From: janet marie paterson <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2000 10:47 PM Subject: Re: QT: hide and seek > At 06:31 PM 2000/02/11 -0500, carole wrote: > >Hi janet marie: Don't know if I totally understand it (got > >to read it again in the AM when my synapses are all bright > >and shiny and not so dopamine depleted), but I like the way > >it feels...
