"Veils of mist 're ours forever"

May our times be like a waterfall…
enjoying the act of our cascading
love for one another, and never
thinking on the end of the fall as
any less than the place where our
love may rest forever.

"Veils of mist 're ours forever" by

I have been sitting on this piece of writing since my college days (a couple of months now… LOL) and saw this particular shot, of a waterfall, by Kevin McGennan. With his permission, I’m placing them both together… for one does deserve the other. Great shot Kevin… and thank you. I must add this… to get the full effect of the picture, I would click on to the picture and then enlarge it to give the picture a sight worth seeing… again and again.

  • Thank you Shar… and know I was waiting for just the right shot to go with these words. Kevin provided this beautiful picture and I could not resist asking if it would be OK to do this. I’m glad he said yes. xo

    Very well spoken…And a beautiful image my friend. Congratulations on your well deserved features.

  • I thank you Taylor but I wouldn’t have placed this one up if it were not for spotting this picture by Kevin in the first place. I thank you for both of us.

    That is so beautiful Russell ~ and I love your new avatar! I did not picture your face like that. I thought you more the “American Chopper Senior” look – so what a surprise to see the gentleness and warmth of your appearance.

    (I digress – but now it all makes sense.)

  • With very kind thanks Cynthia, I’m glad it makes more sense now. Also, I’m very glad you like this pairing up with this fine picture by Kevin, definitely one of my favorite shots of a waterfall… I’ve ever seen. xo

    Just lovely Russ… love that gives peace in knowing that togetherness does not end, but moves to tranquility. These words you shared give such a wonderful concept to my soul and my human heart:)

  • I’m very glad you liked them ‘Sue,’ and find true care and compassion for the rest of us from your words as well. This offers us all hope. xo
