Wow. I love the adventures that helped to shape you--the remote island duty, the bus driving on the double-decker, the loving move to Canada, the soul mate, the raising of a daughter, the poetry, the personal conclusions re: faith and the bible. No wonder I enjoy the insights of your poems. It is so good to be getting to know you!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05723639294340760325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-6368757866759664302012-02-10T11:58:18.792-05:002012-02-10T11:58:18.792-05:00Thank you for that Viv.Thank you for that Viv.Daydreamertoohttp://daydreamertoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-25218880215334935142012-02-10T09:12:53.934-05:002012-02-10T09:12:53.934-05:00Wow what an amazing life....Bren has always been o...Wow what an amazing life....Bren has always been one of my favorite poets and her blog has such an amazing welcoming...Chim's World of Literaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08052021144209095350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-72618660736267988632012-02-09T22:44:43.629-05:002012-02-09T22:44:43.629-05:00Oh so many lovely comments.

Thank you, Bren, for giving us such a generous look In. I LOVE the sound of the sun shining through the jars of colored beach glass. On our beach, there wasnt much glass - but sometimes glass BALLS which were highly coveted. And some shells. The glass would give the effect of stained glass, I imagine.......love that idea!Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-58710366448923361492012-02-09T21:47:09.555-05:002012-02-09T21:47:09.555-05:00I can't get to your profile from you link name...I can't get to your profile from you link name so, hope you read this. We used collect so much beach glass, we have glass jars filled with it, and it looks so beautiful with sunlight glistening onto it. At one time I also bought a drill press and used to make jewelry from it too. Chloe and I used to love finding a piece of blue glass because it was the rarest colour and we'd both shout out "found a bit of blu hoo." LOL It was like treasure to us, and going there every day was, priceless.Daydreamertoohttp://daydreamertoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-81701573507230665412012-02-09T18:26:32.318-05:002012-02-09T18:26:32.318-05:00Bren,

I share a lot of your views.<br />I love that you were the first female Double Decker bus driver, Bravo~<br />I so wish you would finish your book, it sounds amazing! You have had quite a journey, so glad you found your soul mate~ I have been to PEI, I loved it! Funny story with potatoes, too... <br />I went down to the car to get the potatoes for my Mom to cook. We were on vacation, had a hotel with a kitchenette. Mom wasn't to pleased when I brought her the wrong bag. A bag full of red rocks... I was young, they looked like potatoes ;D<br />Bren, how about a poetry book instead?!

I find Bren's poetry always very musical and with a sort of magical quality, deceptively simple. On the face of it, it's not the kind of poetry I like best, yet it always gets straight to my heart. It must be that quality of Love which infuses it!<br /><br />Wonderful story about Evelyn Waugh! Why him, I wonder? Perhaps because he had great problems with the Church, yet was a deeply spiritual man who understood the importance of Love. (Despite being, we are told, curmudgeonly at times in his personal life.) <br /><br />Yes, I'd like to read that novel too!Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-30860871967362906822012-02-08T12:16:10.604-05:002012-02-08T12:16:10.604-05:00wonderful!
