Dear Poet of Romantic Compassion, thank you for compassion and good wishes, wish you were lucky too in your search! Better the eternal search than cutting it short and eternal hopelessness. Compassion is feeling sympathy for the other at its highest, a feeling born dearly from experience. "Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too." (Frederick Buechner). Time comes, sooner or later, when we all, lucky or unlucky in love or otherwise, fall in need of compassion, and then it feels sweeter than one could imagine. Thank you again and again, Romantic Poet!

Thank you Jim for sharing what most of us feel here in CS.SM

Great poem may all of us seekers find our mr or miss right

Gee JimEee - don't know how I missed this one. It's G rated too! Yes we would all love to have someone. However, my attitude is that I would love to have someone - but I don't NEED someone in my life - in other wards - I'm not desperate for just anyone. If it is meant to be - it is meant to be. I've gotten by for almost 66 yrs (next month) without and I guess I could go 66 more yrs.

Thanks for the great write.

Kathy
