| "...sip/of the broth of free will" contains abundant respect mixed with choice. "into life's litter" - what a visceral way to put that! And "that which I knew not enough of" carries absolute innocence. I love this piece. ~~ Diana |

another self-look with maturity
and self-awareness and yet the emphasis
is as much on experience as on self;
fine indeed, Jerry

You've unearthed such understanding through your adventures.
Your poem brings to my mind a line from "The Natural" where Glenn Close tells Redford "I believe we have two lives. The life we learn with, and the life we live after that."
Love,
Christine |

| You have lived life large, paid the price, done the "Regrets, I've had a few"-thing and have learned redemption and reconciliation which leads to inner acceptance and peace. My goodness... you've had your cake, made yourself ill on it and yet can now allow yourself the untold blessing of being able to BENEFIT the inner man through recognising the manifold lessons learned and enjoyed. You speak like a purged soul who does not reek of sanctimonious preaching yet is a beacon to others to also let go of and make peace with their past. There's a real sense of joyous revelation here. WTG :)) xx |

| I do a lot of sipping and not enough gulping. Consequently I got a lot of shades of grey, somewhere between happy and good enough. Congratulations to you. Patrick |

Fantastic as always. As the man sits at his desk writing a memo "To whom it may concern" - "I refused to play the game." A strong willed soul doing it his way with "gusto." Smiling, with the highs of a man bent to show the world he can do it - to the depths of despair you made it through!
"so here I am"
"happy at last"
"who'd believe it"
Great Jerry, you echo what much of many have been through.
Great write
Love and Light
Lily |
