Dear Sister ;

Thank you and others for the compliments on the poem. I think that

what I aspired to be a mountain, was taken as a grain of sand. Oh

well.

I have an off the wall question- what does your email name mean? I

am half Polish and I can pronounce this but do not know the meaning.

not...... (something)My mothers first name was Wlasta lol, but being

in the usa, it was obviously spelled Vlasta.

Compassion to All,

Randy

> I have a pc penpal and we have communicated and become

very close over the last couple years. Friday I promised that over

the weekend I would write her a poem, so saying this, these words

are " real " and not imagination as usual. She practices dharma so

there are a few Buddhist overtones here as necessary. I know the

outcome; she will be flattered and humbled. Let it be known that I

kept my promise. Enjoy.
