• The Pendulum Swings

      Back and forth

      Back and forth

      It’s more difficult for me than it is for you.

      No it’s much more difficult for me.

      Is this a contest?

      It’s hard for us all, can’t you see?

      The pendulum swings.

      Does my pain matter more than theirs?

      Are we not all in this together?

      What is easy to you, is a struggle for me.

      What comes naturally to me, causes you to stumble.

      No one gets one over on anybody else.

      It all evens out eventually.

      • Wonderful Kristina…

        You have such a cool way of surfacing wisdom…

        (We have some awesome writers on this site..!)

        Oh hey…

        I been lookin at awards you can set on your writing desk,

        rather than a certificate…

        For this initial group…

        (It is likely this is the group for the 1st NWP NaPo…

        I am thinking of doin a fall festival…

        Maybe with stories..?

        With a raffle…

        Maybe 1000$…

        (The raffle really makes it fun to me…)

        Maybe 500$ again..

        But I am lookin at this thing called the crystal tablet for us…

        It looks cool and has a cool name…

        Would look fire on our writing desks…

        Maybe will post pick in a bit…

          Simply shows how different it is for some folks, at different stages in life.

          Nice work.
