I don’t have Insta. It’s too overwhelming.
It could be. Thank you for being here Bo. Hope you guys are ok.
xoxoxo
We are. Thanks, Gab. How’s your leg?
Glad to hear you guys are ok. My ankle is fine. I have a certain level of swelling left around the bone that does not seem to go away. The same level like a month go. Other than that I have mobility and no pain. I can walk. I cannot run yet. It’s going to take a while. How is your ankle?
That’s good. You were really lucky.
Me, I saw my doctor last week. The mobility is now 30procent (was 20 in Sept), which isn’t much but my foot is stronger so I can walk more normally, some half an hour or so, if it’s more, I have to have crutches. I can’t crouch and I can’t stand on it more than a couple minutes. After 8 months, I can say my recovery has just begun.
Oh, Bo, just hang in there sweetheart. I know it’s tough. It is going to be fine. Love you with all my heart. Please keep me posted. Kisses for little B.
xoxoxoxo…
Will do, baby. You too take care.
Thank you ๐ฅฐ
Truly lovely, Gabriela. Where is the artwork from?
Yours,
David
Thank you so much David. The artwork? Good question. I never use art work without proper attribution. I do not use anything without proper attribution. In fact I am getting a bit uncomfortable with some people here getting too “inspired” by my work. One does not want to cross the line between inspiration (which is perfectly fine) and plagiarism.
Anyway, the artwork you see here is in my private collection. One of my dearest friends painted it some time ago. The book cover for Passions is a picture of one of her paintings too. When she quitted painting and left for Europe she gifted her entire work to me. I can use her work the way I want provided that I do not use her name. That’s the story. I hope one day she will return to painting and she will sign her work. She is extremely talented. I write about “her” in my stories and call her Miriam.
Thank you for asking. Have a beautiful week ahead.
xoxo
That seems like an odd request – why doesn’t she want any credit for her beautiful works?
-David
If one does not want recognition one is seen as odd. These days when most of us look for fame it may be even a sin not to seek recognition.
David, I am not at liberty to say anything. However, people deal with tragedy differently. Sometimes they must leave the past in the past in order to be able to start anew.
Have a beautiful rest of the day my dear friend.
xoxoxo..
Thanks, Gabriela.
FWIW, I think there’s a difference between ‘recognition’ and ‘accolades’ – artwork like that is not something that came off of a conveyer belt, if you get my meaning.
Take my poetry, for example… I don’t need an award, but it’s definitely a reflection of my self and I do want it understood as such.
I didn’t mean to sound judgmental of your friend – but, well, she deserves to be known for such lovely art, and it’s far from every artist who wouldn’t want that. I’m sure there’s a difficult story behind it, but it’s certainly not the common or expected choice for an artist to make – that’s all I meant.
<3
David
I fully agree with everything you said David.
“artwork like that is not something that came off of a conveyer belt, if you get my meaning.” I do. Her work is breathtaking. She did only six pieces. She left one unfinished. My hope is that one day she will return to painting and then she can get the recognition she deserve. It may take a while.
xoxoxo
Beautiful imagery formed. A summer well spent it would be. You are awesome.
Aw.. thank you so much sweetheart. You are awesome too.

Sorry, for my short response. I am just so crazy busy with a new project I want to get off the ground.
Drew, take your time. I don’t want you to stress out. I hope the new project is going well. When you have time I would love to hear about. When you have time. Remember I am here. I am not going anywhere.
Take care of yourself and good luck.

Bless you for understanding
Lots of blessings to you too.

Thanks.
Beautiful poem! I love this composition, so visual and so wonderfully written.
Thank you so much Blanca. That’s so sweet of you to say.
xoxo
This such a beautiful beautiful piece. I’m overwhelmed by its simplicity yet rustic charm. It brings wonderful colors to my mind. I have started associating poetry with colors and this was right there- a blush pink with warm orange streaks. And that to me, I’d textbook perfect!
Oh, my dearest friend, so glad to have you here. Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for the praise. I associate poetry with colors too. So there! We are the same. I hope you are well. What did you cook lately?
xoxoxo
My absolute pleasure friend. I am so glad to see you write again. I’m thrilled to know you associate poetry with colors too.
Tell me bout it. We made loads of lasagna yesterday. Can never get enough of it.
How’s winter?
Loads of lasagna. That sounds great.
I dream in colors. When I close my eyes I see various colors floating behind my eyelids. I write and every word seems to transform itself into one specific color. That’s the way I am since I can remember.
Winter is mild. It’s not Montreal but we had snow.
Sending you plenty of love.
Take good care of you.
xoxo…
Wowww congrats dear๐๐ป๐๐ป

Bringing warmth with your poems to our cold ๐ฅถ snowy days :)))
Btw, I seldom see your page on my WP-timeline, but Iโm following you. Kinda weird…
Thank you so much for your kind words Victoria. I am glad I can bring some warmth.
I have to talk to WP about that. I follow myself and I cannot see my page in my reader. Something wrong going on.
You ok? ๐น

Iโm fine ๐โ๏ธ me & my dogs r waiting for that sun from your poems ๐

Well…I couldn’t read the poem but knowing you and your writing I bet it’s spectacular.great work
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are beyond kind.
Here is the poem. just in case
bring the summer back to me
to have
and to hold
the flesh of sweet cherries
the fragrance of roses
when
cotton candy sunsets sing
Iโll deliver myself
in the arms of Morpheus
forever
and
ever
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
Gabriela
