| interesting form for this stream of consciousness, Jon. I think it works well. And the sustained metaphor is very visual as well as so on point. Both your concept and crafting come together admirably into a work that is strong and convincing in its proposition. Excellent stuff, thank you! :)) xx |

and "The Hand of Illusion" curses reality of truths...the root of all evil as they say...I want that hand full of dead presidents in my pocket too!
But Jon! Oh Jon! Let me tell you I especially love this "ripple of possibilities" you have so superbly expressed...
or that "pebble of confusion"...or was it a stone?
Ahhh Dearest Jon, your words are so outstanding in their capture of attentions...that subtle toss turning to a boil! Calico thoughts...again The Hand of Illusion...oh yes I am "firmly entrenched"! This is more than politics! I Love It~!
Peace, Love & Inspirations
