Juggling Wish I were a professional juggler Keeping all three balls in the air As long as crowds were about Entertaining with my ability Never to disappoint, to fall With inherent weaknesses Mask of pancake white While working up To inner explosion, always wonder If I’ll survive The next One. |

Sometimes I think we're actually the professional jugglers and the jugglers are the ones living life - chasing themselves in circles... Well done, my friend...  |

you know its very unnerving for a guy to watch a female juggler. I'm not sure why. Parker |

there are many unique styles here in PF - and sorry to say that is not always a compliment - but in your case it most definitely is - you are very high on my admire list - and this is a prime example |

Corinne, I think we all wish for that feeling of confidence and certainty...some of us just keep dropping our balls ;( |

Sweet Core. juggle away -- I'll be there to catch any ball that falls. I played around with your format some. I'm curious to see what it looks like when I post it here.
