For the last few weeks I've struggled so desperately to continue this blog. My thoughts empty, my words gone, and a nothingness descended. This week someone I hardly know sent me an email containing the following ...
There once was an adventurer who lived in a land others only heard about….it was called the land of Beauty and Colour. It was an enchanting and desireable place created by the paintbrush of his eyes. This adventurer would take obscure and forgotten things from the neighboring land of Grey and give them new meaning and vibrant life. Wherever he went, joy followed like gentle music dancing along with his every step. He would occassionally leave the land of Beauty and Colour to visit the citizens of the land of Grey. With his paintbrush he would encourage them and tell them of his homeland and other lands that they too could create and go to. He would share pictures of his places and inspire the lonely and hurting. The adventurer’s name was Kindness and in the language of the land of Grey he was called Malc.
I was so touched by the beauty of those words and reading them helped my inner self to return.

Lovely words, very inspiring!
I agree with them whole heartedly. Every word if it is true.
That is the most beautiful thing I have ever read. I am so sincerely touched, its well worth reading over and over again. I love the wonderful analogies.
What a kindred spirit to have written such an amazing poem but I bet the real person is even greater to have inspired such beauty.
I feel honoured that were written about me.
