The Triond community enables me to love in fresh ways.
Triond impresses me as a special writer’s community. Recent controversies have brought disharmony and threaten to chase away talented and committed authors. Holiday cheer compels me to highlight unique authors who have written thoughtful and beneficial works.
This article shares with you five Triond masterpieces that stimulate me to love. Click on each title to read the letter or poem. Consider it a Christmas gift.
MJ’s portrayal of the heart is exact. Vivid. Brief. Strong. Scintillating. Added bonus: look at the bleeding heart beauties.
Melody Arcamo Lagrimas – Let Me Be
Melody’s words touch me deeply, causing my heart to reach out.
Darla Smith – Hopelessly in Love
Darla’s poem creates desire within me for my precious wife.
Virginia’s letter makes me want to be a good friend. A better friend. A best friend.
Carolyn Garofalo – What is Love
Carolyn characterizes love with 14 different expressions.
(Honorable mention: A Friend Worth Keeping by Jo Bingham – I could not find it again after going back to it, so keep an eye out for it.)
I desire to love more and to love better. The Triond community enables me to love in fresh ways.

Thank you, Brian, for reminding us that Triond is more than just a web site – it is a community.
Jasin – you have already written much that inspires me. And you are young – you have much left to write.

Brian,
You have a heart of an angel. What a wonder unselfish tribute to other talented triond writers. Some of these talented writers I have yet to have the pleasure of reading their works. Thank you for generously sharing these writers with me.
Blessings to you,

As a “newbie” to TRIOND, I guess I missed the “controversies” of late. My eyes wide open to the community, to the potentials for an array of possibilities ~mostly positive, I appreciate your focus on the up-side of details and prose. These are all lovely, as is your over-all perspective. Thanks for shining the light onto the light and love that reigns here on TRIOND.

Most of my postings were gone. Not sure what happened and didn’t have the heart at the time to repost. I only wish I had printed out the responses since I cannot get those back. Anyway, I shall repost A Friend Worth Keeping just for you
Thanks for the encouragement!
