ALMOST TOO MUCH 28 May 2006 In the shadow moments, I choke on having chanted the mountain and the valley journeys from the knee and the blackboard ways and the sun and the moon ways, in the slow years, because the upward trail is heavy-shouldered and unspoken and the angry rocks make my feet bleed tears. - Owl |

Indeed it is almost too much, the key word being "almost" I think. Nice write. Kristabell "Use your imagination not to scare yourself to death but to inspire yourself to life." |

"because the upward trail is heavy-shouldered and unspoken and the angry rocks make my feet bleed tears" Achingly beautiful, Diana. |

Thank you, jo, Kristabell, aziza, James, Kate and Dixie. I have just felt lately that I am almost sorry that I learnt from my mother and school and life, to do the right thing, because it so often feels that I am the only one doing so and that I have to fight against the authorities and the masses all the time. As Kristabell says, the keyword is "almost". - Owl |
