But you know they say it is the dawn of those like Oliver, that the time is coming for the intuitives to shine. So they say. <br /><br />(I'm thinking of Daniel Pink's "A Whole New Mind", Martha Beck's latest book, and even that book about the power of introverts. One can hope.)<br /><br />And I agree with Kario completely.Vesuvius At Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02783271096885148080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-86414630999091527352012-10-15T03:54:31.465-07:002012-10-15T03:54:31.465-07:00I love so many things about this...the poem, the i...I love so many things about this...the poem, the images, and his t-shirt!Blue Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029825683981603205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-81712261351902461342012-10-14T06:09:59.299-07:002012-10-14T06:09:59.299-07:00Elizabeth, you are so, so amazing.

The words on the page danced and wouldn't arrange themselves in an orderly march before his eyes but tell him the thing, teach it to him by speech and it goes in deep and makes a home. Forever. it will be okay, I promise. That Oliver is gifted in ways that heavy backpacks cannot measure. Only life can.
