"Renee Clark" While googling trying to learn more about our Mesue (wish I
had a chance to
get to know her), I came across a thread from 2000 in which RCTQ'ers
introduced themselves in detail. I've come on board since then (September
of
'02), and I'm sure many others have too. Might be worth doing again for
the
sake of those who are a bit newer. I'll go first, in the hope that some of
you will follow suit.
Blessings
Renee

Favorite Quote:/"poem
After A While


After a while you learn the subtle difference

between holding a hand and chaining a soul

and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning

and company doesn't always mean security.


And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts

and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept your defeats

with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult

not the grief of a child and you learn to build all your roads

on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans

and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.


After a while you learn

that even sunshine burns if you get too much so you

plant your own garden and decorate your own soul

instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.


And you learn that you really can endure that you

really are strong and you really do have worth

and you learn

and you learn

and with every goodbye you learn.
