About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters; how well, they understood
Its human position; how it takes place.
(Excerpt by W.H. Auden)
How easy it would be if I were free!
I live everyday a normal human being;
and every night a monster.
I live everyday a normal human being;
and every night a monster.

Miss Almond,
ReplyDeleteYou could never be a monster. Not to me. Not to others.
You are so creative, so willing to express your thoughts and feelings through art.
I admire you so.
That feeling you describe of wanting to be free. I know it, too. At least, since I've known you through this internet medium. I am trying, if only with baby steps, to break free of my confines here in this lighthouse, and to truly "see" what goes on outside these walls.
The internet is a vast, and fruitful place to try to understand the world around us.
I however, have been relying on it much too much for that. It is my crutch. I will show you I can be a mouse-on-land, too.
