The Replies Book

Feathers waved in freindship.

Stellar laughter uttered or leaked from doorways in the middle of misty forests, rocky beaches and velvet mountains.

Are you staying for dinner?

Did you invite anyone?

We are here for everything but the food, even though the food is ecstasy on a fork.

The paintings on the walls, and the light smiles of our fellow guests spell a serene serendipity.

So he went, she was gone.

That’s it.

We won’t see them again.

We have the photos, even tapes of their voices at their best.

Remember when….. and then they folded the chairs, removed the tablecloths and placed bowls of punch in the center of every table.

We stayed sober. Excessively sober. Seriously remembering them.

There will be more, others, new, wonderful, marvelous chapters in our lives.

Just not the same.

Thanks so much for all we remember! We can smile and laugh and feel the warmth of those moments.

Delicate flowers and the boxing match.

It was so long ago.

Were things different or does memory blur and time make a story fade?

The horror movie was playing on the tiny television.

Skaters were running the streets, ringing bells.

Everything in a gradual dimming, becoming brighter.

Then, golden lawns and purple mountains.

Days. Today. Hey…now!

Solely placing pears on the tree.

The fruit arrangers come back for a star performance.

Receptionists delight in this event as they get to add creative flourishes.

The artists run figures across multiple screens.

The flowers are arranged by a brass band.

We have got off at the wrong stop….fortunately.

We were so pleased to receive your confirmtion.

Bet they were pleased to receive the payment as well?

Not so fast.

They really enjoy providing such great service.

You do too. Or you will when you provide the Delight Quotient in the things you do

The money? It’s falsely created by one or other central bank.

Eventually it may not be “worth the paper it’s written on”.

Being pleased, pleasing, or one such similar, is not prone to fluctuation in value.
