It takes a while to recognize the patterns, but once we do – we grow. And nobody moves at another’s pace. Thank you, Curt

Lots of darkness in this. It seems like an expression of an unhappiness that can’t even be found in dreams or fantasies leading to an ultimate end. Life is always a series of hills and valleys.

Not just you. I am laying here reading this at 4 in the morning. Maybe that’s why I love this write. Well done.

I think your poem speaks to something very true Willow. There is a definite compression in the air in these times (and for many for a very long time before this). But especially today, there is the feel of the walls pressing in, everything is hunkering down trying to find a safe place to live in. This is no way for human beings to live. -Curt

No way at all for us to live. Thank you, Curt

Exactly Willow. Learning from one’s experiences is not SSDD, it’s growth. And this growth is internal and personal, doesn’t matter what others may think. But if someone is paying attention, this growth becomes obvious and welcomed. -Curt
