Life is a trebling sentience to sing (Article) - 2/6/2013 10:48:53 PM
Yes, this IS just one sentence. However, unlike most run-on sentences this one is not a bunch of boring babble. Very creative way with words! Bravo!

Life is a trebling sentience to sing (Article) - 12/30/2011 8:01:31 AM
ROG ... WOW!
The Absolute, Longest 'RUN ON SENTENCE" I Ever Seen in my 71-year-old Life!
Unless I mis-counted, 204 purposely concocted, continuous Words ...
A veritable Cacophony of contiguous condescending non-conformance, veritably Waving a Red Flag in the ugly face of Grammatical 'Rule Making' !
A Cachet in all 5 senses of the word ... a Cache of the 'Time-Space Continuum'!
I HUMBLY BOW IN AWE! You, my Friend, are a true 'Wordsmith'!
My previously 'thought of' my vast knowledge and vocabulary has been instantly relegated to that of a Wee Tot in KINDERGARTEN !!! Bravo! Kudos!
I feel truly honored that such a 'Beautiful Mind' (perhaps just a tad Warped that it may be - said tongue-in-cheek, no less) - has so recently paid me homage!
I now TRACK you! Will peruse more of your Witty 'Pearls of Wisdom' when time allows!
A Happy & Healthy New Year to You & Yours! Tom.

Hmmmm.... seems I have missed much in this Epic, Roger! :) I said many episodes ago about the co-dependencies of 3; seems like the dynamic has shifted but, like a three-legged stool, each can't quite exist and find stability without the various interactions of the other two. It's a game for psychotics in which the game is everything and 'true love' goes out the window. How this lady loves her 'rare and arcane' embroidery!! Cross-stitch away, Cynthia dear... :)) !! xx

As always, the nature of your work allows the reader to find both reality and surreal allegory to meditate on. Several key phrases arrested my reading: "Pending heart beats on through all of the wile" and "Though why is but a dream, the question stands" These connections afford so much to contemplate. Thank you.
FACT 55: Cynthia’s Surprise Turn! (Poetry) - 5/2/2013 5:32:26 AM
I MOURN FOR CYNTHIA...MY HEART IS BREAKING FOR HER. SHE HAS ALLOWED FELICITY TO UNDERMINE HER GENUINENESS...WHO SHE IS AS A WOMAN! HAS CYNTHIA LOST HER ABILITY TO REASON???! FELICITY IS NOT A PRESENT OF TODD'S FORMER LIES...SHE 'IS' TODD'S FORMER LIE! AND SOMETHING ELSE; 'DESPISE' IS A STRONG WORD. I MEAN, I DON'T BELIEVE CYNTHIA EVER 'DESPISED' FELICITY...SHE DIDN'T LIKE HER AS A PERSON, BUT FOR VERY GOOD REASONS! FELICITY IS NOT A NICE PERSON, SHE WASN'T WHEN SHE TOOK TODD AND SHE ISN'T NOW. HOW DO I KNOW THIS? FELICITY'S ACTIONS SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. BECAUSE, I KNOW IF EVERYTHING HAD WORKED OUT AS FELICITY WANTED THEM TO BETWEEN HER AND TODD, BELIEVE ME FELICITY WOULD NOT BE IN CYNTHIA'S FACE NOW. HOW CAN CYNTHIA BE SO BLIND AND NOT SEE THIS???!!! TO BE TAKEN IN BY FELICITY'S MANIPULATIVE FORKED TONGUE IS SO SAD. HAS CYNTHIA FORGOTTEN THAT IT IS THE SAME TONGUE THAT SPOKE MEAN AND CRUEL THINGS TO HER??? NOW FELICITY COMES WAVING HER FAKE 'SOLIDARITY' BANNER AND CYNTHIA BELIEVES HER??!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY EXCEPT...POOR, POOR CYNTHIA. I WEEP FOR HER...I MOURN FOR HER. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS & FAITH...

BEFORE I BEGIN MY DISCOURSE I HAVE ONE QUESTION; WOULD FELICITY HAVE BEEN AT CYNTHIA'S DOOR RIGHT NOW 'IF' EVERYTHING WAS JUST 'PEACHES' BETWEEN HER AND TODD? LET'S GET REAL! IF EVERYTHING HAD WORKED OUT JUST FINE BETWEEN FELICITY & TODD, CYNTHIA WOULD BE THE LAST PERSON ON HER MIND RIGHT NOW. AND FOR THIS REASON...I DON'T LIKE THIS PERSON...I REALLY DON'T LIKE FELICITY. I DON'T LIKE HER PRESUMING THAT SHE AND CYNTHIA COULD EVER BE ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT THEY ARE; TWO WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME MAN IN THEIR LIFE...AND ISN'T THE WORLD FULL OF THEM? YOU SEE, ITS THE WAY THAT SHE MADE HERSELF KNOWN TO CYNTHIA THAT MAKES CYNTHIA NOT LIKE HER. SHE INTRODUCED HERSELF TO CYNTHIA IN A VERY 'PAINFUL' AND 'HATEFUL' WAY AND NOW SHE PRESUMES(FOR OBVIOUSLY PURELY SELFISH REASONS-SHE'S ALONE...TSK, TSK, TSK) THAT CYNTHIA AND HER HAVE SOME 'CONNECTION'. SHE WANTS TO BECOME 'CLOSE' JUST BECAUSE CYNTHIA WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO LOVE TODD AND FELICITY WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO TAKE HIM? IT AMAZES ME HOW FELICITY PRESUMES THAT THE USE OF THE PRONOUNS 'OUR', 'WE', 'US'...MAKES EVERYTHING SHE HAS DONE...RIGHT. WHAT SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND IS THAT FELICITY AND TODD ARE ONE IN THE SAME TO CYNTHIA. FELICITY IS LOOKING TO SET UP HER 'SOCIAL CLUB' FOR 'THE DISCARDED' IN THE WRONG PLACE BECAUSE CYNTHIA DOESN'T LIKE HER(I HOPE, I HOPE, I HOPE-SMILE)...OR TODD.
THANKS FOR THE SHARE, ROGER. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...

FACT 55: Cynthia’s Surprise Turn! (Poetry) - 4/21/2013 10:51:59 AM
Many tributaries given to the reader, choices that lead in quite different directions, even as the flow of words, like the ethereal nature of the piece, transcend one's sense of gravity, rising upwards paradoxically with their downward sense of grounding. For without the grounding of "Word-frames"enticing, there might not be the epiphany inherent...regardless of the rivulet ventures. Ultimately, all become confluent when "despise" embraces acceptance.

.Odin: Intriguing commentary as always, Odin... my final line contains the word "end" with its intentional ambiguity in terms of a double meaning -- both 'concluding phase' and 'purpose': so I guess your response aims towards a possible interpretation: Our purpose is to terminate imaginary emotional debts... at least that is one interpretation...
I welcome more, as I welcome more comments from those still following this saga.

Oh, how rampant spreads the emotional ooze two entities so often create, yet remain without conscious concern for each other. Even the graphic entropy of two paintings have this enmity (until it's resolved as synergism absent rivalry). Your "fictional park" is a wonderful analogy of like situations with humans. Your last line, however, gave me pause I wasn't sure was warranted. Might my interpretation, somewhat removed from the words you chose, be valid? "Our beginning proceeds only after killing debts neither owes." ?????

FACT 53: Cynthia Says ‘Not so Fast.’ (Poetry) - 3/25/2013 6:56:31 AM
A succinct and historically proven theory of love. But of course, all "object" driven love, as opposed to the state of love, exposes itself to suffering, given attachment inevitably places strain on the two enjoined elements. But, I digress from addressing the piece directly. The tenuous nature of "pride" is perhaps the most volatile aspect of trust, and especially, as your poem's subtext implies, the forces at work to keep our minds and hearts "adolescent" are never at rest. Well done, as usual.

FACT 52: Todd Repents of having Relented (Poetry) - 3/12/2013 1:52:36 PM
Mary Ann: although speaking collectively, Todd is more pointedly using the 'royal we' in reference/deference to the current object of his affection--namely, Cynthia... so it is her pride he desires to see shelved, so she can get past it and allow him to return to her.

Whether Todd's Manned flight is of permanent solidarity, its mention gives this spacious exhortation of what seems imminent sorrow a sense of there might be other answers. One could interpret this excerpt as a calamitous preview of emotion's most feared enemy: finality. Like so many perceptions of "end all" exultations, this arrival seems worthy of serious examination. Perhaps that is the point of Todd's sustainment of actively in pursuit of a "landing." At least a partial answer is suggested here. Another enjoyable challenge to a reader's own imagination. Thank you.

For me, a reader who takes these "Fact" number postings as pieces total unto themselves, find the complexity of this heart/mind conundrum for your heroines, Cynthia and Felicity, invigorating even beyond what most of your Fact postings generate. There is such potency in the opening line. There is something so topical about "indeterminate endings are all the rage" as some of us are asked to wade through such inane sob stories, be they political, domestic or business. The "lonesome sound" reference in the 2nd line is such a poignant metaphor for the alive nature of existence amid the glorification of decay, i.e., societal indulgence in the mistake-making-nature of us all that some would have us believe, and the rehab glory that is made front and center of "story at 11." Here, the depth of the word choice, e.g., "green" as opposed to rendering the line without such an important adjective, impacts the reader with a jolt. Later, the "heart once was true to one so false" depicts the pandemic dis-ease of love's duplicitous nature today for far too many uneducated, inexperienced, or just plain ignorant people. "...where the green forest clears to field, yes there, where the end its purpose may yield" provides a hope, a non-religious faith in the rightfulness of nature, the perfection of pain and joy we all can embrace or try and field...not knowing to field is to merely start the cycle over. "We create our own reality, our own lessons, and we repeat and repeat until we learn." Such is the essence of this little paragraphical gem.

An Ideal Trilogy (Poetry) - 12/23/2012 10:42:15 AM
Taking the summation lines of the three stanzas delivers an undeniable introspective challenge. Could...are...will. Choices. Yet, most choices are not free choices, as they derive their direction from how well we've taken in our many experiences. The ideal? Accepting reality isn't always "out there." The images as Plato posited is but a crafty suggestion that shadows of what we experience are housed ironically within all our 5 senses. Thanks for the mental workout. Hard to find on "any" writer's sites nowadays. doG! The fluff that far too many people waste their time to blow in our faces is daunting.

FACT 44: Todd Parries to Tarry (Poetry) - 12/17/2012 5:08:13 PM
Might have it completely wrong, but for me, the metaphoric scene painted here is full of fantasy/reality, a conflict that is all the more real by the admittance, or perhaps it is merely a suggestion, "If this mark is yours, making him on cue might just be the best thing you'll ever do." One with as much cinema BG as I've accumulated can't help but read how impactful the fantasy is in making one's life experience real. Yes, there is such a chasm that exists between what serves as one's REALITY and that enigmatic desire to make our fantasies real. There's definitely a Felliniesque brush stroke here. Truth be told, my argument would be that most of our lives are lived out as fantasy, fearful of what might happen if we dared look reality in the face too long. But, hey, I've no complaints. Still healthy, not hurting anyone, happily involved in a relationship, and respectful of everyone's convictions...as long as they don't foist some of them on this secular humanist in residence.

FACT 43: Cynthia Waxes Frivolous (Poetry) - 12/9/2012 11:30:25 AM
You've penned an allegory from enigmatic visions, all of which remain part of Love's residual grace. It might be argued that not all expressions and objects of love are designed or destined to remain intact, given the maxim: we create for ourselves the same lesson over and over until we learn it. Because learning the art and fulfillment of love is infinite, it might be further argued that the acceptance of self-love must be active and ongoing in order for Love's outside objects to remain valid in one's life. I for one see much in the last two lines of your work, i.e., allowing the playing field of self-discovery to change in order for Love's learning process to continue. Well done.

FACT 42: Todd Agonizes over Love (Poetry) - 11/27/2012 6:35:32 AM
Such a personality. I can imagine him sitting atop the roof, where he escapes often to imbibe an 18 year old scotch and stare at the stars, wringing his hands lamenting his quandary with a sonnet:
Tell me when these weary woes shall have end,
Or shall their ruthless torment never cease:
But all my days in pining languor spend,
Without hope of assuagement or release.
Is there no means for me to purchase peace,
Or make agreement with her thrilling eyes:
That their cruelty doth still increase,
Daily more augment my miseries.
But when ye have showed all extremities,
Then think how little glory you have gained
By slaying him, whose life though ye despise,
Mote have your life in honor long maintained.
But by his death which some perhaps will moan,
You shall condemned be of many a one
Certainly he needs to think clearly, without doubt or question, push aside all his lame excuses, and then act intelligently. Despite the apparent mental muddiness that love has witched him with, it might help if he quested for peace, repose, serenity, ataraxis, and a slathering of heartsease in his decision making.
FACT 42: Todd Agonizes over Love (Poetry) - 11/26/2012 5:53:34 PM
Oh, to tame the wind and avoid the dastardly rhyme is to be teased by the gypsy heart you speak of here. "The gamble, the wager, this game of love" is still awaiting the next iteration of "wind currents" and their ever vanishing reality. For who within such storms, having tasted the brine of the excruciating love residual, could ever denounce the next experience of the memory's return to " a fresh love for whom my heart once burned." An insightful, deliciously oblique taste of love's reality holding to fantasy's seduction...today. But, what of tomorrow?

Your last line suggests to this writer (given the generations dastardly spent in Hollywhore) that what is created by any modality is in the constant tug-a-war between creative freedom and commercial acceptance. Every "character" real or imagined, aspires to retain the "complexities" most power mongers wish to have diluted to mediocrity. After all, what seduces the most eyeballs? Yes, many a time, you, me, so many others "...were one..." Holding on is really all that's worth exerting energy, emotion and creativity for. "Echosis" the novel I"ve spent the last 9 years writing and am now polishing for publication has as its plot the struggle for these very aspirations, undaunted. Onward, Roger. Onward.

Roger ... Your discipline is impressive. And your ability to stay focused and productive speaks mightily of tenacity. "Fix your destiny." I am concerned that our destinies (in the world system) are in the grips of something much more insidious than we can ever imagine. Make sure you've got your parachute on. It will make for a safer landing if we fall off that cliff that seems to be looming. And besides that; Israel at war? If so ... not a good sign.

Such elegant, classical verse with contemporary diction like "touchy-feely"; love that your craftsmanship eloquently combines the two so effortlessly. As that mist on the lake, I rather think that Todd's frame of mind as to how or what he regards his sense of purpose to be will depend moment to moment, from day to day in a tumbleweed kind of way. He seems rendered purposeless as a becalmed sail by this profound confounding. At the end of the day, I feel he is portrayed as one who will continue to live out his life without ever finding resolution; there is none - he is in love with the mindgame - and with both the other minds that seem content to forever play it. :)) xx

FACT 39: Todd Gambles on His Dilemma (Poetry) - 11/2/2012 6:12:34 AM
There's irony in the tertiary impact of the closing sentence. The body of the poem/prosetry presents a sense of relationship history that has posed and resolved its questions, i.e., "...death to depart..." and "...breaking my heart, of wisdom now grown wiser and older." Of course, the primary element driving the piece is the dichotomy of fear and excitement, the turn of the corner, the stepping into shadows before the light might be discerned. Loved this piece. Easily identifiable for a veteran of 3 marriages and 5 children who did, in fact, step into those shadows in a final deployment to the front. Yes, I did find light... for the first time. Strange how understanding one's own behavior is slower coming than understanding that of others.

Hmmmm ... Is the series wrapping up? There seems a sense of conclusiveness in this. It seems to bubble up from the subtext. Perhaps I'm reaching. Probably so. And "goodnight", too, in the preface, has various implications. The immediate one (to me) being a courteous way of saying farewell. Auf wiedersehen - au revoir - arrivederci - leave-taking - parting - sayonara - bye-bye Todd. And 'fey'... this not often heard word seems to sum up the creative process for me at times; slightly insane. haha... Peace and continued inspiration ...

CYNTHIA HAS HAD A CHANCE TO SEE TODD FOR WHO HE REALLY IS AND THIS IS NOT WHO SHE LOVED. SHE LOVED A FACADE, SHE LOVED THE PERSON WHO SHE THOUGHT HE WAS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT...I JUST CAN'T SEE IT! IF SHE DOES BACK WITH HIM I THINK I'LL JUST KEEL OVER AND KNICK UP THE ROSES! HONESTLY! WELL, I'M THROUGH, I'M OUTTA HERE! I AM SO SPENT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY BUT...GOODBYE UNTIL NEXT TIME!

FACT 36: Todd Comes Between Felicity and Cynthia. (Poetry) - 10/16/2012 8:51:34 AM
CYNTHIA DOESN'T NEED HIS UNDERSTANDING OR ATTENTION. WHAT CYNTHIA NEEDS IS FOR HIM TO CONVINCE FELICITY THAT HE LOVES HER AND HER ONLY AND DOES NOT WANT CYNTHIA AT ALL. I THINK HE IS PURPOSELY THROWING AN AIR OF DOUBT IN HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH FELICITY BECAUSE HE IS STILL CARRYING A MEASURE OF GUILT ABOUT HOW HE TREATED CYNTHIA. HE IS WRONG TO DO THIS AND HE IS BEING VERY UNFAIR TO FELICITY. IF SHE ONLY KNEW...SHE MIGHT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT OTHERS, BUT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CYNTHIA. I NEVER LIKED FELICITY AND I FEEL SHE IS GETTING WHATEVER SHE DESERVES FROM TODD AND HIS MANIPULATIONS BUT NOW, I REALLY DON'T LIKE TODD. WHY? BECAUSE HE IS THROWING A BAD LIGHT ON CYNTHIA, WHO REALLY DOES NOT WANT HIM AND ISN'T GIVING HIM ANY INCLINATIONS THAT SHE DOES. HE IS SNEAKY AND UNDERHANDED AND NOT TO BE TRUSTED...WHICH REALLY IS WHAT FELICITY DESERVES BUT CYNTHIA DOESN'T. THANKS FOR SHARING...AND I'M ON TO THE NEXT ONE!

WHAT CYNTHIA DOES IS NONE OF FELICITY'S BUSINESS! I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW SHE CAN HAVE SO MUCH TIME TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT CYNTHIA IS DOING. WHY SHOULD SHE CARE WHAT CYNTHIA IS DOING WITH HER LIFE? AND AS FAR AS FELICITY'S ACCUSATION OF CYNTHIA STILL WANTING TODD, ALL I CAN SAY IS...'SO A PERSON THINKS, SO THEY ARE'. OBVIOUSLY FELICITY THINKS THAT CYNTHIA IS LIKE HER...AND THIS WHAT SHE WOULD DO SO, SHE FEELS CYNTHIA WOULD DO IT TOO. CYNTHIA DOESN'T WANT HIM, REALLY. SO FELICITY...? BE HAPPY AND STOP DON'T WORRY AND PLEASE STOP ANNOYING CYNTHIA BY SEEING HER IN YOUR MIRROR. I GOT BEHIND A LITTLE, ROGER BUT I'M CATCHING UP TODAY! THANKS FOR SHARING.

FACT 36: Todd Comes Between Felicity and Cynthia. (Poetry) - 10/2/2012 5:54:39 AM
Hmmmmm ... reestablishing cordial relations is he. "dare of dares" "fairest of fairs" "tracks of treasured tears" "visage wears" "measured cares" ... These are a few of the phrasal accents that delight, Roger. These (IMO) argue, too, someone who sincerely cares about what they do. A soul heedfully sorting through the gorge of windy poetic possibility to find the perfectly colored words to make the body and soul of the piece sparkle. A lesson that everyone should take to heart, and, more importantly, to task. Another finely wrought installment. Peace and continued inspiration ...

... If these three weren't such good wordsmiths through you, Roger, I think the wheels on their relational bus might have ground to a halt before now! Girls: is this bloke worth it? Todd: when are you gonna bang these two women's heads together?! Are these obsessive compulsive game-players bent on winning at any cost? On the other hand, were these three to stop and get a life, my goodness... we'd be totally bereft of your SERIOUSLY good sonnetising and psychometric profiling. And that just WON'T do! In that case, bring on the further menage machinations... :)) xx

Okay. Let's get out of the trite review syndrome. This is a stand alone piece. Loaded with metaphoric substance and meaning, as poets acknowledging other poets, we have an obligation to avoid the tweet one liners. So... canvass in print... pigments of pain..."if first impression last longer than death, this fact maybe the best brush stroke of all... all contribute to an impression of "what is love?" The line, "...time to give your love the lie." So much packed into so few words.

Fact 34. 3+4=7. A spiritual number embracing completeness. This is interesting to me in light of the fact that you've trained two sonnets together, and both of them are magnificently and delicately rendered. Kudos poet! Fact 35, (if you choose to continue) will equal 8, a spiritual number denoting new beginnings. Whatever the Most High is doing through you, Roger, is burgeoning, in my humble opinion. This construct seems more Brobdingnagian (in scope) than the others. Even though French Impressionism was never a moving force in my life, know that your work is. Abundant blessings of peace and health to you ... richard

THERE IS NOTHING FOR CYNTHIA TO SAY TO HER...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! AND THE FACT THAT FELICITY IS NOT ENJOYING HER 'VICTORY' AS MUCH AS SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD DOES NOT SURPRISE ME AT ALL. HMMMMMMM...I WONDER WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD POSSIBLY BE? COULD IT BE THAT OLD MAN 'CONSCIENCE' JUST WON'T ALLOW HER TO 'LET IT GO'? ALSO, TODD'S OBVIOUS HIGH OPINION AND DEFENSE OF CYNTHIA'S CHARACTER HAS NOT HELPED FELICITY TO FEEL TOTALLY SECURE IN HER STOLEN POSITION. BUT I FEEL NO SYMPATHY FOR FELICITY AT ALL...I THINK SHE IS GETTING JUST WHAT SHE DESERVES. UNTIL NEXT TIME...TAKE CARE, ROGER, AND THANKS. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

WHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN THAT TWO PEOPLE DO NOT THINK ALIKE? WHAT INTRIGUES ONE, TURNS ANOTHER OFF. WHAT SEEMS SO NATURAL TO ONE, SEEMS PURE LUDICROUS TO ANOTHER. SO WE SEE THAT FELICITY IS SO CONFUSED. CONFUSED TO THE POINT WHERE SHE HAS BEGUN TO SEE HER OWN ACTIONS AND WHAT SHE IS FEELING AS CYNTHIA'S ACTIONS AND FEELINGS. I HAVE NEVER VIEWED CYNTHIA'S REACTION TOWARD FELICITY AS ANYTHING BUT, GENUINE AND UNDERSTOOD...DISLIKE AND TOTAL RESENTMENT. AND THESE FEELINGS WERE EXPRESSED MORE TO TODD THAN TO FELICITY. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY I THINK THESE TWO WOMEN HAD ONE REALLY EXPLOSIVE DEBATE, BUT NOW, THERE IS NO COMMON GROUND, ANYMORE. THE BATTLE IS OVER. FELICITY HAS WON, BUT FOR SOME REASON CANNOT TAKE HER 'PRIZE' AND MOVE ON. PERSONALLY, I THINK ITS PURE GUILT AND THE 'GUT' FEELING DEEP DOWN INSIDE THAT WHAT SHE AND TODD DID TO CYNTHIA, TODD AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL EVENTUALLY DO TO HER. THUS, FELICITY WASTES HER GOOD TIME AND EFFORT, THAT SHOULD BE USED IN 'CONCRETING' HER RELATIONSHIP WITH TODD ON CYNTHIA. WHO HARDLY CARES WHAT SHE AND TODD DOES(AT LEAST I HOPE THIS IS WHERE CYNTHIA HAS PROGRESSED TO, BY NOW). I AM ALMOST SPEECHLESS WITH THE MARKED CLARITY OF HOW THIS LITTLE SCENERIO SHOWS THE MARKED DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO WOMEN. ONE RESIGNED TO ACCEPTING THINGS AS THEY ARE AND GOING ON WITH HER LIFE. WHILE THE OTHER, SO TORN BY GUILT, HAS BEGUN TO FABRICATE AND 'PUSH' HER FEELINGS ON THE OTHER. AND DID FELICITY REALLY SAY, 'ME AND YOU'???!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I THINK HER CONSCIENCE IS REALLY BEATING HER UP. AT THIS POINT, IT IS FELICITY THAT NEEDS TO 'STOP LOOKING BACK'! BUT, BECAUSE OF HER OWN LOW MORALISTIC VIEWS, THAT OBVIOUSLY MAKES THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HER AND CYNTHIA....SHE CAN'T. ROGER, AS THIS LOVE STORY GOES ON I CAN'T HELP BUT BECOME MORE AND MORE IMMERSED IN ITS 'BEGUILING' ATMOSPHERE OF...OH, SO MANY THINGS! LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT EPISODE. THANKS FOR SHARING.
