Holy spirit you are welcome
In my life
I am stand still
Like a rooted tree
Old like me
Please don’t chop me down
Don’t I have the right to live?
Why
I am very old
One you cut me down
There won’t be another tree
That will replace me -

Strong and do we say sensual or steamy? This maybe the first time we read you like this, tight

Chère W.,
Reading time Less than 1 min. A promise, a threat?
no need to dilute it for my sake. Since it’s in English, and I am intent to come to grips with the words, my reading time is less than 2 minutes. Alas…..
And I think it’s beautiful.
In fact I love your writes to bits.
And this is another one of them!Warm regards, Gus

I like to watch people, but not in a stalker way, LOL. I am just curious in how we all are wired, and what gets out from inside our heads. Mannerisms, etc. Your piece here is a great mapquest to Willow. Not full of hype, but the nuances that make you unique. Well described, Willow.

One more cup of coffee…. I understand the procrastinations. How is can be riding on a person’s back to delay things you want to do and accomplish.

There’s a relatable tug-of-war here between wanting to move forward and finding every comfortable excuse to stay exactly where you are, with the sun and clock quietly reminding the speaker that time isn’t waiting. The last “One more cup of coffee” is the perfect little surrender—it undercuts all that determination with the wonderfully human truth that sometimes the first step is just another damn cup of coffee.
