The stillness of the water amidst the rushing pace of our lives…..is it illusion juxtaposed with reality?…or is it merely Life…smiling back at us, in the very moment that we stop to admire her. <BR/>Your words remind me of Ezra Pound’s haiku, “ The apparition of these faces in a crowd, Petals on a wet, black bough.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7999695.post-1109518600972174032005-02-27T23:36:00.000+08:002005-02-27T23:36:00.000+08:00:..M..: - Yes, it does.
