Ha! (as you have so often said so well).. 'gumption.. moxie.. will"??? You? Why, Josie, I thought those were your middle names.. Worry not, for you are a red balloon filled with talent and gusto.. and NOONE here has anything sharp to burst you.. My god, woman, but you are a fantastic "self-examiner".. a lesson to us all.. Great job. katy.

Josie,
Lass, 'tis often in our sincere and earnest and passionate pursuit of self, when imbued in the very same passion, that a release of fragrance from our very soul takes place and issues forth, showering all those about us in good, as a wind and hail of fire and fine, As as welcomed and wet shower in summertime, it refreshes,bathes, cools the soul of those about us in good. Good write young lady, oh, the sword remains not heavy when passion remaineth her wings.
Rodney Evan Bohen

can I not just cradle myself in selfish
pursuits
just this once just this now
be
what I want?
it is not so
cannot be thus
with broken heart I retire
but know this
my heart is here this parchment this moment

You have your pulse on the heart of humanity Josie, I believe your pen will get you what you want one day. You have the power to hang in, you are still young enough , but yes, some of the vigor is gone the motivation to keep going needs renewing,I hope you get some help!We all need co-pilot's when we want to fly high...

Josie, I've never read anything that so aptly reflected the deepest feelings of my heart. This is exceptional, only someone who has lived this can really understand the depths of it. Thank you for sharing your heart with me.

Very good write! I totally relate and I really like the last part, "my heart is here this parchment this moment
as I take up my sword yet again
in the jungle
that is life." Thank you for sharing this!
