very wise arthur. i often feel that same sentiment observing animals.
Still struggling with masses of rage. rage at being asked to be who I'm not, to play LOUDER and MORE VULGAR all the time; at being treated like a student; at hotel incompetence....but the anger feels somehow clean. better than resentment.
haven't managed to sit for a couple of days - was in Vienna and not to bed till 4am catching up with a friend. Tomorrow I am off to meet my Romeo in verona for 2 days. Can't wait. Need to be held not scolded right now.
Beth I agree so much with what you say, and it is such a help to have people speak out these monsters as we gather here in the hope of a better world.
yes, it's comforting to hear your voice, dale, even monosyllabic! Love to you all.
Ruth. Yes. Yes. I've got that at work right now. Being asked to be someone I'm not. I'll never be a publicist, a promoter. That's not what I signed up for, but that's what I'm being asked to do. I'm quietly putting my foot down. They'll have to decide if they want me as I am, or want to get somebody else; I'm not going to obligingly turn into someone else for them. Not sure I could if I wanted to, but I could certainly make myself miserable. Life's too short.
Dale, it's true for me, too, that it's good to hear from you. Finding the way to be true to one's self... oh, I've spent a lifetime and here I am still working on that one. Yes, life's too short to not keep at it.

this has been going on with me for several days now, and I think it's best to put it out to you in words
Mary, I think of you so often. I understand and honor your decision to stop blogging and commenting here for awhile.
I'm tempted to say "I miss you" (true), but that seems like a manipulation to bring you back.

I know, Janice. I miss her too.

Another one that misses Mary.
