Far more than a little extra

  

There are times when we need extra ...  

If we can't find it inside ourselves ...

family and friends ON and OFFline share, give ... 

Bless their empathy and.. coloured socks ... 

 

Please, watch and listen, no matter where you live ...    

Virtual hugs ad infinitum ... ... ...

I agree dear friend.

I try to remind people to call a friend, call a family member and be kind. The quiet world. lonely for many. Thank you dear Emma for sharing the excellent poetry.

You're so very right, John, this is the time to call a friend, to share even a few words, little plasters that make us feel better, less sad. Thank you for always understanding, dear sir.

I called old friends for the first time in years. I worry for them. Time for us to say hello and be kind, You are welcome dear Emma.

Been doing same or similar.. Not everyone thinks to phone 'old' friends, but those are the ones who just might not be remembered as much as they deserve. Perhaps?

Smiling... you give me that "little extra" all of the time dear Emmy:) I am going to put some extra extra colorful socks on today:)

Laughing... think we all should.. after washing with at least 20 seconds of soap then, dried with an anti. wotsit towel.. and a giggle or few.

Many thank yous. Bunny Robert. Take care of yourself. :)

See that beautiful hummingbird to my left. How it pollinates the flower and the flower thrives to spread its own unique style of art, music, and love. May all of us have shared love, grace, and gratitude towards one another like you are, Emma. Please stay well and HAPPY EASTER!

Get Ready - Here comes a virtual hug!

Think my words and thoughts fail me when that country is mentioned, noticed in passing, etc. So can and do understand what you're saying Many thanks for your review, Carola.

A beautiful reminder that we all share the human condition of needing one another – no matter where that connection may be found . . . the power of a smile, a kind word, hugs sent across oceans can echo around the world.

Wisdom does not come without the pain of loss of some kind . . . and to watch the world share a universal distress on such a personal level from our own TVs and computer screens is simply --- well, unprecedented. None of us have been here before. E.v.e.r. The power of connectivity in this electronic age has shown us that humanity CAN step outside itself and offer a helping hand to others. The ugliness recedes in the light of hope and compassion that is front and center everywhere. You are a poet, my dearest Em – watching, recording and sharing your own brilliant light here. For all of us. Thank you, my friend. xx

All I can so is hope.. realising that now.. trusting that we'll all play our fair share of conquering the evil rather than submitting to it. Thank you for your wonderful words. You've always had a way of making things clearer and better for me. Bless you, keep safe. Please.

Everything at this moment seems and actually us virtual: hugs, kisses, touch, smell, laugh, cry: we live in a virtual world now where we reach out as we have to for more virtual attention. Lovely, poem Emma. Fondly, Betty
