| Richard, you have written this with such honesty. As for lacking vitality of spirit....I think not! Original and intelligent work! |

Now is the time to rise up and look to the positive and future, as the past is what it is and can never be changed. Spiritually challenging...
Be always safe,

'This mere shadow of former self' - this phrase especially touches me. When we catch sight in the mirror and have to ask Who am I now?... And here again, as I read this, I feel as though I'm looking in a mirror.

The dried-up poet? Never, Richard, never!
Valid and superior word choices and phrasing, the thought process exceptional.
In admiration,

| The humility and honesty in this piece is really quite moving. I'm really glad to see your work again. I have to admit that I have been feeling the exact same way these days. Probably best described as a general sense of demoralization. Maybe learned helplessness is a better word. And I certainly have a self-destructive streak in me which, if left untreated, will gently guide me into the swamp of self-aggrandizement and untoward behaviour. I guess what I'm trying to say is I completely identify with these feelings. I won't bore you with all the reasons for my general mood of indifference except to say that I feel we're in this period of almost disbelief, or suspended animation, a transition into a new era where life as we knew it will never return; but the new ugly face of reality has not completely unveiled itself yet. Quiet before the storm. And I know it's coming and almost want to say: just get the God-damned thing over with already. Just f---n kill me already! I know the future's shot anyway, why bother. Just bring it on!!!!!! The faster we hit bottom, the faster we can come back up again. Maybe. Anyway, I'm rambling. I feel for you brother. I'm in the same boat. Titanic with a slow leak. At least that how it seems. Take care. Hopefully it'll all pass. |
