I'm sorry you feel a lack of response from me; I suppose on your blogs you are used to conducting many conversations in your comments box, which is your choice, but not mine. <br />Believe me, I am touched and very appreciative of all the kind words sent to me, yours no less.. Your first comment here on this post really made me smile. <br />I try to express thanks collectively on my blog posts, I respond personally to the many individual emails I receive, and visit and leave comments on other blogs when I feel to. I do not like to spend endless hours on the internet. Most of my time's spent painting and working on the things which I show you here. I am saddened to feel that you choose to see the fact that I am unable to respond individually to comments as a selfishness. It is not this at all. I see my blog as my half of the conversation (as I wrote a little while ago), and the words people leave here as the other half. Where people ask for specific information or write to me privately, I respond accordingly. <br />And I'm unsure why you feel that being too busy equals it being "all about yourself" - I <i>am</i> very busy, and quite hermit-like at times, but that does not mean that I am not heartfully engaged with and responsive to the warm and astounding words people send me. <br />I hope that clears up for you my own approach to the extent to which I want to be "plugged in" to the internet. Everyone does things differently, but, know that my feeling towards the many people who visit here is truly grateful and appreciative.<br />I wish you too an excellent New Year...<br /><br />And soon, when stories and energies have been gathered, I'll write my next post. (I appreciate very much Karin's comment about the frequency of my blogging too... it comes when it comes, and in between: Life!)<br /><br />x RimaRima Staineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044701472535300254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-13106238172004463302011-01-03T10:44:43.057+00:002011-01-03T10:44:43.057+00:00Dear Rima,

I'm looking at your photo, reading your words about the snow and am realizing that the sky is one for all and wherever we are, we can feel one and the same magic, though in different ways, through our different eyes and hearts...<br />I want to thank you for this beautiful place of yours, in the Forest, where you find and create miracles and then share them with us, and take us always with you on your exciting and curious journeys, and let the doors to your house and soul always open. Thank you!<br />I wish you a Happy New Year, full of health, love, inspiration, magic and new worlds to discover in the Big World of Art!<br />The quotation by Dylan Thomas is wonderful!!! It reminds me in a way of one very famous and loved Bulgarian author, whose style is "unique au monde" and I just wonder how his books can be translated without losing their charm, magic and "taste". His name is Yordan Radichkov. Please, try to find something written by him, I suppose you'll be impressed!xxrossichkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03185784702539084622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-85554191723371652532011-01-02T01:51:51.115+00:002011-01-02T01:51:51.115+00:00How I love the words of Dylan Thomas at Christmast...How I love the words of Dylan Thomas at Christmastime.
