apollo watches the herd
II. HERMES STEALS APOLLO’S CATTLE
Though he was laid out in swaddling-clothes with her winnowing-basket for a cradle, he escaped and made his way to Pieria, where he stole some cattle that Apollon was tending. To keep from being discovered by the tracks, he put boots on their feet and led them to Pylos. He hid them in a grotto, except for two which he sacrificed, pinning up their hides on rocks, boiling some of the meat for his meal and burning the rest.’

Like this a lot Katleen. The mysticism and soft tones are really effective.

I LOOKED AT ALL YOUR PHOTOS 1 BY 1 AND I HAVE TO SAY YOU ARE SUCH A TALENTED PERSON KATHLEEN, FROM YOUR INNER BEAUTY TO YOUR OUTER BEAUTY.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY YOU ARE VERY CREATIVE PERSON BUT YOU ARE “NOT”.
THIS IS WHO YOU ARE, AND I BET IT COMES NATURAL TO YOU , AND YOU ARE SIMPLY EXPRESSING YOUR SELF-HERE FOR ALL OF US TO SEE, THIS IS THE WAY I SEE IT…..........................
WHAT MELTS ME AWAY IS THE WAY EACH PHOTO SENDS ME TO A DIFFERENT THOUGHT OF MIND AND REALM, IT TAKES ME ON A JOURNEY TO A PLACE WHERE I HAVE NEVER BEEN BEFORE, AND I LIKE THE FEELING.

This hits my gut. Just read your group e-mail; in the awkward lie so many possibilities if we can allow for the flow of things.
