You have nothing of value to add to the conversation.
He married you for sex and for your body and because ya'll believed the same thing. Those three attributes have vastly changed; none meet the standard anymore.
It is too late to dream; you've already awoken.
If you make it public, someone will try to fix you, you know.
You have no backbone; you can't handle criticism and often do not even know your opinion on the matter.
There are already too many words.
In war, you will have to choose a side.
What would you be if you disallowed others peeking in?
There are more opinions than there are insects.
The web worker's season has begun.
The weeping cherry tree has already dropped all her leaves and it's not even the end of August. Does she do that every year? Is that why she is a weeping tree because she is the first to cry?
It is okay to rest; that is why you reduced your stress load. Take a break.
Whoever decided that loneliness is unhealthy or bad or something that needs fixing? Isn't it just another unavoidable dimension of life?
What is the point of words if one is always left with questions?
Joni Mitchell and The Circle Game; I am alive this round on the carousel where I have landed with others on this round, and at every round the carousel rearranges.
A trillion happenings have led to this moment; a trillion more await.
Like each tiny cell is a universe, so are these steel machines supported by rubber tires mounted on metal wheels roaming about on asphalt. I wonder what is happening in the one beside me? I wonder what all this will look like another 100 years from now? And birds will still soar with wings.

Oh how I relish Joni's music and lyrics and voice.
Back in early fall/late summer of 1979, I remember walking down the hall in Kenyon Hall at The Way College of Emporia. From one of the rooms I heard a voice and guitar much like Joni's. I followed the voice into a room discovering the voice belonged to Lisa...
A sampling:
We're A Family by Lisa.
I LOVE Joni Mitchell too! Her voice so crystal clear and she writes her songs...a music goddess. :)
I love the line..."cartwheels turn to car wheels..." I'm there w/ my daughter now.
Love ya!
"A trillion happenings have led to this moment."
Carol...these are beautifully expressed feelings. I don't feel what has happened in the past is near as important as how we view it from the present...as a learning experience that will heal our soul from past sorrow...or a stifling chain that binds us to the pain of what we once endured. We choose...no one can for us.
Yes, yes.
I learned yesterday that Joni Mitchell gave birth to a daughter and gave the baby up for adoption at birth because Joni was dirt poor broke. They found each other 32 years later...sometime in the 90s. The song "Little Green" is about her daughter.

Thank you Anna.
Beautifully stated regarding how we view the past from the present. I seem to meander between and through those options along the path of presence.
