I created this group with an intent to make it a safe and welcoming
place in cyberspace where we can free our minds or simply unwind.
Our members are thoughtful individuals from different states,
backgrounds, and walks of life, who are looking for a meaningful
way to communicate/converse in an informal, rambling environment.
Note: Please try your utmost to adhere to the community guidelines. I realize that
it could be hard at times as it is human nature to be fractious. I would appreciate sincerely your cooperation.
Why fret about them if To-day be sweet!

What is a rambler?
#1 a person who takes long walks in the country
#2 a person whose speech or writing is not well organized

Ramblers - Ramblers are not sports like climbers; they are a distinct type of rose. Ramblers have flexible canes and flower once in early summer on canes that grew the previous year. They are very vigorous and can grow 30 feet in every direction. http://www.rosemagazine.com/pages/roseterms.asp
It be great for the discussions to grow "vigorously...in every direction"
rambling:
meandering of a path e.g.; "meandering streams"; "rambling forest paths"; "the river followed its wandering course"; "a winding country road"

What a sad irony that one of the few pieces I saved of Laz's ditties (ditty) is entitled "Passing." I hope his family publish the collection of his ditties. He crafted them quite well.
"passing"
life sometimes so unfair
takes others unexpectedly
disrupting another's plan
gone just like that
in a snap
makes one angry
such inner pain
numbs one's brain
seek relief
in other's warmth
their understanding
strike out at other's
whom you think
do not feel your pain
push them away
they do not understand
a living nightmare
wants to make one scream
what has become of the dream
time only softens the hurt
dazed and confused
realize weeks have passed
days not so full
what can one do
others try to lighten the load
for they know
a broken heart
heals at its own rate
comes a day
that it begins to refill
although it may be whole again
the scar will remain
passing reminders
may make it pain
then comes a day
heart smiles
memories of happier times
come to one's mind
yet the spirit
of the one
you loved
lives within
smiling together
once again

To my buddies from AOL,
I just discovered quite accidentally about Laz's passing. I didn't know =-( I shall miss him terribly. I still have a few of his wonderful ditties. Here's one. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing it with strangers.
reflections
mental whispers
emotional chords
tidal waves
lapping
shores of the past
veils of distant days
maze of daily decisions
designing
one's own being
journey
uncertain
map less path
logic
wrestling
with heart
past
only a thought away
future
being woven
daily
peer into a mirror
pools
reflecting
me
*************
serenity
='( I'm sorry he's gone.
