Since you haven't been following it as much, you may not be aware that I've really not been posting any of my own content for some time, though it has been my pleasure to post poems by Carmen, Mairi & Barbie. But I've known for quite some time that the blog had an expiration date, so to speak, & rather than have it fade away in neglect, I felt it was important to me & to it to have a punctuation point.<br /><br />Thanks for all your kind words, & for all you did for this blog--& more importantly, for all the ways in which you have enriched & enhanced my life. It's funny, & perhaps telling: I also look on embracing change as crucial, but not as a preparation for a final demise, but as part of life's fabric. But ultimately, perhaps it all comes to the same thing.<br /><br />All my best wishes--<br />John Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-31741545409495584072013-08-19T22:03:08.303-07:002013-08-19T22:03:08.303-07:00Hey Johnny Jack Poetry - I haven't been visiti...Hey Johnny Jack Poetry - I haven't been visiting RFB for a while, but strangely enough tonight I checked it out - and I want to say: that I've always loved RFB being out there in the universe with its unique and alive presence - and I never totally realized how much I loved it until I read your words about stopping this,,,<br /><br /> - on the other hand,I know that change happens, and in fact, following change is probably the most essential thing any of us can do in our lives, especially as we age and approach that ever-approaching fact of death - so I congratulate you on your courage in accepting change - wherever this will take you next...<br /><br />and I also want to thank you for creating the vital being and essence that RFB has been - indescribable - life-giving - embracing - as well as troubled and opaque in its identity (as anything truly real must be, right?) I know that being a part of RFB was delightful and transformational to me while it was happening - and I'm certain that I'm not the only participant who experienced this - so -<br /><br />I thank you - and wish you all the best wherever your creative future takes you - softball, cooking dinner, watching the light or the rain in the Portland skies as they touch your heart and your horizon - THANKS for all your work and words - and for the presence you have been in my life -<br /><br />AMDG,<br />Eberle<br /> Eberlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06523773865788173026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-68854942870762893882013-08-19T12:45:39.429-07:002013-08-19T12:45:39.429-07:00Thanks so much, Raquel.
