A Stonewall near Nelson, Lancashire, UK

In Northwest England; there stands a stonewall near Nelson, Lancashire, UK ...

What is the purpose a wall any way? Who was the person who took this picture?? Why is that important?

Well this photo was posted by a former high school classmate on an alumni web site... A fine young woman; I knew some years ago... It is a excellent photo of the area near, Nelson! Thank you dear lady!!

It shows a very steady stonewall, in a open field... What exactly are walls for? They mainly form a border or boundary... Most of the time the border, is to allow control... They can keep people, either in or out.... Maybe both!! Many times in life people erect not actual walls, spiritual walls to keep themselves in some state of isolation for protection; by keeping others out .... This is a state of isolation.... This can be very sad!!

In this life time; we will all meet different people on our pathway... I was fortunate enough to have the pleasure of meeting this fine lady, many years ago and then getting to know her better more recently! Our paths have crossed and converged on our journey through out life...

She is a very dedicated and intelligent woman... She is a hard worker, who has learned to overcome the many obstacles placed in her pathway... She is a determined person who does not let difficulty upset her!! Example: She virtually sat down one day after getting her first PC, some twenty some odd years ago and mastered it... Now she is a computer wizard....
She is also a great writer, and has a wealth of knowledge and information to express.... She is a very talented person.... She has restored an old house cia 1894; which she lives in and does many of the tasks herself.... So she is no slack person.... She is a strong woman, a wonderful person to get to know, plus a very good friend.... That is the Lady; who took the photo of the stonewall....

We should all seek; is to enjoy and to build friendships with those we meet on our life's journey...

It is these merging and crossing of paths that make our life what it is... Life is an experience to be shared with lessons to be learned through the intercourse with others... {BTW: Intercourse has more meanings than just sexual, as in this case...} It is the sharing of ideas and values and events that makes and defines our lives...

This requires us, to not build fences or walls in our lives....
But to expand our horizons to see people for who they really are!! HUH!!

Phrase from a card I received a few years ago...

" May GOD give me the opportunity to forget those people whom I never really wanted to know anyway; and the pleasure to meet and enjoy those I would really like to know in this life...."

Pleasure and joy of knowing this woman, from so long ago; the fine woman who made this picture... She was placed on my pathway of life... She has been a wonderful part of my life; though only for brief moments... Remember the pleasures in this life are to be enjoyed for how ever long they last... So stop and smell the roses, seek to have an open and positive attitude, then you will come to know the real joys of this life!!

See Ya.. Kermit
