Once I was...
Once I was a sweet young woman. I was pure and good and hopeful. I was tender and compassionate and gifted. I had so much faith in life. I remember my chest feeling so infinite inside. That's the only way I can describe it. I felt that if I could have started pulling out the hope, compassion and love that I had down there in that infinite well I could have salved the world. I thought I was just one big old tube of Neosporin, baby. It's nice to see a little of my ligt in hindsight.
That light must have been shining straight up because, at the same time I felt surrounded by so much cold and dark. However, this is not the time for musing about my past confused wanderings. I've found things I wrote from 20-30 years ago. A sweet find. I shredded and burned so much of it in disgust. So, in my little Cedar Chest I will try to record a few things from the far past. I'm not saying it's any good. I'm just saying it brings back tender little memories and brings a few tears. You know, bad teenage poetry and naive musings. That kind of stuff. Ahh, youth.
