I really just started this blog for myself as a means to keep writing and being creative. I never imagined that I would be able to have such great exchanges with people from all over the world! What a gift...<br /><br />Again, thank you everyone for your kind words and well wishes. <br /><br />Happy Easter!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-15446237081048943532011-04-23T04:05:26.032+02:002011-04-23T04:05:26.032+02:00I agree with Angela - SO interesting.

Dichotomies indeed - of many kinds, including the modern with the ancient, the organized religion with the pagan rituals and the beautiful aesthetics with the bloody gore.

For all our progress in civility, respect for animals and other species still has a loooong way to go. One of my children's favourite books when they were little was the "The Story of Ferdinand", the flower~sniffing bull, so you see I have indoctrinated my own children with my anti-bull fighting ideas and hope for progress! <br /><br />But the swirling dancers, ah, that is so very wonderful, and even more extraordinary, that is was a mere "hole in the wall" away. <br /><br />Have a wonderful Easter Heather! Thrilled that your sister is doing ok.<br />Virginia xGlamour Dropshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12651174250292927988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-91716365322356389442011-04-22T21:31:10.998+02:002011-04-22T21:31:10.998+02:00laughing here..

In fact, I may already be there because I'm reminded of that Texas joke about the young bull who surveys the pasture full of heifers, and say <br />"Let's run down and 'dance' with one!!!" ,<br />to which the old bull says "Let's walk down and 'dance' with'em all".<br />As Billie Holiday said, I'm built for comfort, not speed.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039958476924555517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-83294385531307054742011-04-22T18:48:37.446+02:002011-04-22T18:48:37.446+02:00Tracy, if you did indeed come back in taurine form...Tracy, if you did indeed come back in taurine form, I would garner that you would be one of those very rare bulls that are so wily, so brave that they are granted their life by the crowds. And they are never run again, just put out to graze in the Camargue...<br /><br />Thank you for the reminder about Remi as well.

Just end it violently, in a fight, to the death. May I just say here that I am very glad I still do not understand any of the above, and that I like a man who will fire up the bbq and tell his beloved to "go" so she can dance with the evening.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039958476924555517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-66606137242569171552011-04-22T17:11:10.063+02:002011-04-22T17:11:10.063+02:00Thank you Angela--you as well!Thank you Angela--you as well!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-27536188872916399572011-04-22T16:26:29.138+02:002011-04-22T16:26:29.138+02:00How wonderful to learn about traditions of others,...How wonderful to learn about traditions of others, even if we do not always agree or understand.
