A Great Notion, This Love Is

By Robin Xavier Fontaine

In 219 words, I try to express the new world that a first deep and true love brings to us. I'm no spring chicken, but late in my life, I find that I've been blessed with the most remarkable of people, dropped at my very threshold. I hope these words shed light on the experience I've been having and remind others of their first love, or inspire those still waiting to keep their hopes alive.

The apple, cleft from its bough, wrongly rises;
Satisfied, yet always yearning,
I find myself in whirlpools of love.

Robin Xavier Fontaine

I was born and raised near Montreal, Quebec, midway through the baby-boom, the second of three daughters. (How I got the middle name Xavier is a story in itself.)I started out with a disability, and eventually became a differently-abled person. I have learned in my life that with the three H's, Hope, Humor, and Humility, life offers more than enough rewards.The branches of a tree grow upward and outward, yet in life, our branches can all come back together again in a great knot, and a new tree begins growing upwards - awkward picture, isn't it? Recently I have found tranquility, love, and inspiration, and so it's as though life is beginning all over again. I hope to share my optimistic disposition with my readers; to know your limits, yet hope and strive for your dreams, is what brings out our truest humanity.I now share a Twitter account with my old ex, Robert E Vonne - check out our tweets. @robinrobin55Peace and cheers!
