It really does focus and relax one's being. I, too, am fascinated by the honey on the tongue. I always felt school figures on ice were a type of meditation. Watching the skaters early mornings for so many years of my life, I was fascinated that they were becoming one with the arcing lines they created with the blades on their feet. <br /><br />Lovely to be able to read you again Maureen. I missed your poetry in my time away.
