Thanks Candice
it was just a fast snap, but what you say works for me too.
I think it also takes us back to a few things said awhile ago. I always
loved bpNichol's take on this, that we can never get rid of 'content,'
it's always there, so why not work on the formal aspects, especially as
variations in form always vary the content in some way or another....
Feeling is a kind of content? And it's always there if the words fall
right...? And whose feeling(s) are we talking about anyway?
