Erin, if my experience from sixty-five years of living with my companion, Constant Pain, is of any value, I have found that there are days (and nights) where the black just won't square or the circle not set itself straight no matter what. Learning to cope in spite of all else meant staying alive for no reason except saving my own humanity (translates:not losing it) was my substitute for hope aand became my creative force and cumpulsive drive. I love what you have created here . . .LIGHT FROM DARKNESS. Great, NO BRAVE, words my friend.

Erin what a extremely interesting and deep write, excellant play of words too! Very much enjoyed!!!!

Thank you for walking me around the fringe. Excellent, insightful write.

Hey, Moon Girl, the title pulled me in, but the poem kept me in. You have my mind going in circles now. I think we need to do a little dancing in the moonlight to lighten the mood and twist our minds in other directions. You can dance in your Arizona mountains and I'll match your steps in the Ouachita mountains ... and God will smile on us both! Good write!

I also need to square my black once in a while as life throws all these curves. Profound write and thought to chew on.

Interesting write Erin!!

Love
Tinka

:) Not quite back, in Colorado right now, and, yes, black is the word I meant, it is the idiotic side of us/me that wants to plunge into depression for no reason, just for the obutseness of being. :) Caught a few minutes on the computer tonight, will be back home on Aug. 5th. See you all more fully soon!

A lot of us go round in circles
Interesting write.....

I can sense this was a never ending highway ;-) Nice to have you back...
