High bridge in Spring,
ferry to cross the river,
fresh water fountain,
fruit of the mayapple, and
pirogue over troubled water.

(30 day stone,
last to be thrown.
Beyond 30 days,
cease to amaze!)

Out of interest, did you draw inspiration for the "casting stone" thing, from Jesus' quote: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

Because the Stone poems, and your mention about thrown stones has a very spiritual feel about it.

Interesting connection, but if I were to agree with it, I would imply that I was without sin. That would be laughed down in a hurry.

Mary Ellen ( over on the right in the Friends' section ) had the idea originally, so I tried it.
I felt that if I were to continue it past 30 days or one month, it would become annoying to people, and it would be forced, and so on.
People that know me when I am enthusiastic about things find me a bit too much and look about for a plug to pull, so I pulled it myself at 30.

You could be right, however. There are a heck of a lot of layers in life and things are often not what they seem.
