A bit of fun - a bit of liberty with given line... 

Quick & dirty this one - but fun! 

My submission - to may you feel less lonely, Beanie Baby! 

An exercise in translation without looking anything up in a dictionary - being true to sound and/or meaning as you choose. From an untitled poem by Rilke. 

Sorry late entry - don't feel obliged to read - by the way, this is not addressed to George Bush! 

Much later on in the book - for those of you who remember earlier chapters. My protaganist left Thailand after husband's death. Chased old flame. Unresolved issues to be resolved by her best friend & husband being involved in tsunami. Jessica is best friend's daughter. Sensitive topic so would welcome feedback. 

OK, I cheated & changed the line a bit..... 

Best I could do - if more time would definitely edit... 

Sorry this is a bit late & not very inspired but the best I can do this week... 

'As long as I'm not there when they shoot it' - overheard school secretary saying this on phone, turns out there was a monkey on the elementary campus. You'll be glad to here that after several days they captured it & took it to an animal sanctuary. 

Political perhaps? Just a bit of fun written very quickly. 

I am there and this is what I'm feeling! Not the conventional view I know... 

Short - not sure if it's sweet but as far as I could get... 

In Thailand & Cambodia people have small spirit houses outside their home to encourage the spirits of the place to move there and not haunt the house. 

Not sure if this is the complete - it could be the beginning of something longer - but have I already made my point? 

This is the opening of a novel I've been working on for some time - do people get a sense of place?
