As usual, your imagery is so captivating..Zeus, as the old man and the black swan...they will stay with me today:~) <br /><br />Where I live they do what's called "controlled burns" in the forests because the underbrush so thick it becomes more of fire hazard than the controlled burn. <br /><br />After one of these burns, the areas look decimated -- black with no life. Then, two weeks later, there's all this bright green popping up through the charred surface. It always amazes me how determined life can be to live.<br /><br />I'm not sure why this came up and how relevant it is, but I'm leaving it anyway:~)Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995684156785464334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-11206405112779486702011-06-28T07:58:22.348-04:002011-06-28T07:58:22.348-04:00This one boggles my mind!This one boggles my mind!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-21372860829210238462011-06-28T03:32:11.704-04:002011-06-28T03:32:11.704-04:00unique mixture of the classic and the Fireblossom ...unique mixture of the classic and the Fireblossom !<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Aloha from Waikiki<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://comfortspiral.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Comfort Spiral</a><br /><br /> ><}}(°><br /><br /> <br /> > < } } ( ° ><br /><br />< ° ) } } > <Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-36978125886218144562011-06-27T23:35:28.744-04:002011-06-27T23:35:28.744-04:00I sense Zeus here holds a much deeper meaning than...I sense Zeus here holds a much deeper meaning than what floats across the surface of this write...introsceptive and intiguing ....bkmsigned...bkmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558304976280070986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-23998944502302852092011-06-27T23:13:48.363-04:002011-06-27T23:13:48.363-04:00Poor Zeus.

I think not. You shift from the general to the very private and sensual without missing a step and manage to paint two different pictures of seduction at the same time so that they become interrelated reflections.
