ReplyDeletenice to greet you
hello!
DeleteI LOVE this!
ReplyDeletei love YOU!
ReplyDeleteMay I store my unfinished business in your box?
ReplyDeletesure. it is a very large box.
DeleteI love the storing unfinished business away so you can greet the person with kindness. Loved this even more this time.
ReplyDeleteI need a box for storing unfinished business too.. at the moment it's cluttering up my living space :)
ReplyDeletethat was truly fascinating.the form was very effective.loved it.
ReplyDelete:) thanks.
ReplyDeletegreat lines in this one: 'outside your future''enduring...weakness' 'stow it away with heed'. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI like stowing away the unfinished business ~
ReplyDeleteHi ~
hi! thanks, thanks.
ReplyDeleteAh... such control in both the message and your writing. Nicely penned, Marian, and nicely lived.
ReplyDeleteliving outside the box, there's the challenge :)
DeleteOh yes. Just because we smile doesn't mean all is forgiven. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. Stay tuned and sleep light.
ReplyDeleteSo real, so meaningful. I wasn't sure where the word "magnanimity" would take you, but this is it. Excellent work, Marian.
ReplyDeleteK
I sooo feel like this on a lot of days. I hardly get my unfinished business into a box. It sits on my desk and talks to me in Swahili, making concentrating on work or writing almost impossible. and maybe its just that I spend to much time writing shitty reviews...lol. This had a hint of chaos mixed in by hand. Great writing.
ReplyDeletehellooooo.
ReplyDeletethose are some hefty questions. what do you stand for? i've determined to make a deck of 52 cards, each with a different aspiration/ value/ self inscribed, and i'll walk around with it under my hat, and when people want to talk to me i'll just tell them to pick a card. ... incidentally, and perhaps coincidentally, one of those cards is 'spends too much time writing pointless, shitty reviews that are way too introspective to be of any use whatsoever to the author.' .... i'ts endearing. right?
anyway, this is fine wordslinging.
you've got a knack for balance and tone.
wrought with heed, marian.
shawnacy and hero? hah, yinz are the best. thank you for coming and saying.
DeleteLove this. Hunting down a box...
ReplyDelete;)
i have offered to share mine, which is spacious, if you come up short. :)
Deletejust because we know our faults does not mean they have to define us. This is very interesting to think of unfinished business... being stored away. ha. love that.
