Thanks, Ron.  I like the contrasting "retort" of your piece -- WITHIN the margins!  Nice thought-twist.

Decaflame, thank you.  It actually becomes much easier if one opens themselves to "triggers"...  that way, the piece "writes itself".

Ever try Microsoft Word?  It does all that automatically.  Really quite amazing.  Puts everything in a neat little box if you wish.  But, the again, you really don't want to be IN the box, do you?  Of course not

Hm, definitely don't want to be in the box. But where are your thoughts really going with this. I'm unclear.

That's a good one, Interloper!  I actually love Word -- great program.  And no.  Most definitely never want to be trapped in a box -- just aware of it when one exists...

Sandra...  how about:  Writer's block?  Or:  Cold-calling?  Or, perhaps, dealing with Fear?
