Hola querida amiga mía

Well, I spoke with Amelio. He went off for a walk in the garden, sat for a while in quiet reflection then came to me and spoke these words. I wrote them down for you.

Who made you, rose?
She must have known you would distract me,
Beguile me, tempt, seduce me.
Who formed the growing bud,
Shy foretaste of delights to come?
Your perfect flower invites me, draws me in
To breathe the sweet scent deep within you,
Feel your velvet softness on my lips.
Rose, who brought you here
To change forever this wild garden?
And just how could it be
That she knows me so well?


Oh, and Amelio says the garden is so much better for the change!

metaphor?

eres un encanto

What can you mean?

nothing, nothing,

OK, you win. Metaphor!

As those lines are partly yours, how do feel about them being posted elsewhere?

Good morning, man


It´s ok for me
To be honest, it´s enterely yours, but if you win a prize... invite me

Good morning, buenos dias!

Prize? I doubt it!

But sure, if...

Hope you had a good day!

Long past my bedtime now so...

Buenas noches querida amiga

Good morning my dear friend

Yesterday was 2 years since my mother died, so some poignant thoughts around. Not all sad though, she lived a long and interesting life and died contented. She was a good woman and helped and inspired many people.

Hope you have a good day today

Hi Les,

My dear friend, I can guess your sorrow. I also guess the attatchment with her. YOu told me you lost your father when a child.

Fortunately,Your good nature comes now, as always, remembering positive things to put away sombre thoughts.

I´ve started to take antibiotics. My sister inlaw has consulted an especialist in Granada with the "cultivo" of my infection. I must have them for a month, whether I need or not the surgical op. again.

It´s hot and my nose is claiming to be near the sea. G´s family has an appartment in Almuñecar, in the coast of Granada.
I don´t know when we will go there. We are leaving for Granada by the end of this month and will come back after a week to get the results of the TAC, and... I don´t know what will happen, if I´ll stay here to have the op. or if we will come back to Granada, and have it there or not to have it at all.
In any case, it´s holidays and I will be with my family soon. I´m looking forward to.
I won´t have easy to get internet there, so there would be a break until I come back in August here again.

My friend, receive a abrazo fuerte

Hola María

Thanks for your kind words, you are a good friend.
One day I'll tell you more about my childhood but not now. It doesn't feel right.

I really do hope that you can get through this long difficulty with your leg. You must be quite weary with it all after so long. Do take care of yourself my friend.

We had someone look with interest at our apartamento that became vacant a few days ago so we are hopeful that she and her partner will decide to take it. It's very expensive for us to have it empty for any length of time. Think positive thoughts!

I hope you will have a wonderful summer enjoying the delights of Granada and being with your family. It all sounds lovely. As I mentioned in my last email, we are going to Ireland in the motorhome from the 6th to the 23rd July so we shall be away for part of the same time as you.

My dear sweet friend, I´d like to read about your childhood, when you feel like to telling about.

Good luck with the tenant.

receive a big
Lots of love, my friend

Hi

Yes, I will do that - quite soon...

Things are looking good with the tenant so far. They have sent in their application and that is ok. Just have to take references tomorrow.

The sun is shining and it's quite warm, which is nice. I just feel a little tense today. Don't quite know why, I'm sure it will pass. Theandwill certainly help, thanks!

Love from me too

Have a good day my friend

Ok, a bit slushy, soppy the pictures, but you know what I mean

Hi Les,
how are things going? Do you feel better?

I´m started to get information about Quakers, one of my essays on Religion will be about that.

Here there are some entries and one of them link to what seems the page of pages about Quakerism. Quakers.org. It´s amazing the amount of information.
I will start with what I´ve found here and also your words, so beautifully written and summarised!! So, thanks my friend

I´ve discovered that W.Whitman, one of my favourite poets, was a quaker!! No surprise, he was such friendly lovable creature, so full of love towards people and Nature. Just like you

I feel lazy these days,and am taking those essays easy. I´d like to do at least one! but never mind, I´ve time until september.

HOpe everything is fine, my dear man

lots of love for you, my friend

Hi María
Good to read you!
The day was not so bad and I feel better now - especially now I've read you again my friend.

I went out into the garden a little while ago, just before 10 here. It was getting dark but there was still light to see by. The flowers seemed to have a luminescance of their own, their colours glowing in the failing light. There was not a breath of air moving or a sound to be heard and the sweet scent of the evening flowers seemed to fill the garden. I really wished you could be here to enjoy the moment, it was totally magical and you would have loved it so much!

Thank you for the song querida amiga mía, I loved it. And my answer - yo tambien!

So it's Quaker essay time eh?
I hope you will find it interesting. If you want to ask me anything you know you can. I don't claim to be an expert but I can give you my opinion, how I see things.

I'm afraid I too have been terribly idle and I should be getting on with the course material I'm writing. I looked at it again a couple of days ago and was shocked at how much more there is to do. I should try to do some more very soon before I forget what it's meant to be about altogether.

I hope things are ok for you too my dear friend.
Lots of love,
Les
