Like a Geisha Hope is the thing with feathers. -- Emily Dickinson You do not fathom my heedfulness, how I let go daily, how my hope is the thing with broken wings. I make good geisha, trying best to entertain, to work, and only. It is essential, this travail. Your words cradle me. I drift, awake. Infant, I willl not dream of growing up. Julianza K. Shavin 2009

Now I feel better. I am often told by others that I never "grew up." I think the "problem" is that I had to grow up too quickly in childhood and now I'm making up for it. Thank you for sharing, Juli. BTW, you are most welcome to "check out" my latest postings here. There are not many. Love and peace and best wishes,

Regis
