If you are a new stumbler and unaware of the friend/subscriber rules, why not play it safe and hit the green subscriber button until we get to know each other.
By all means if you see something you like, help yourself and visitors are always welcome!
Another wee gripe I'm afraid - why have some stumblers started putting fancy, flowery backgrounds on their blogs? - to me it is just a distraction |

BEHIND YOUR EYES
There are times when you stop in your tracks,
halted by the scent of a blossom, the curve
of a particular leaf; times when these things
shift like the wind from absence to absence;
and all of you lurches forwards, foot before foot,
your mind one turn in the path from recognition
and this is one of these: a tree lies, particular of aspect,
along the way; a light blinks across the valley;
and darkness reaches out to touch you,
as this does, welling up from somewhere
you have been, you think, before but
did not know it, did not recognise the moment
that takes you now by something more
than just surprise; like something living, palpable,
that rustles in the underbrush, hides behind your eyes.
