heading for South Carolina

something nagging at me

but last night Linda said she loves me

in a way I know she means it and more

she always will

I have a problem I have to work out

have to talk to someone, take action

life goes on, there is work to do

there is something inside myself

to heal

somewhere in the night

there are blazing stars

infinity, healing

the wounds

Update

Yesterday I received a rejection from an agent in about three minutes! That was a record. I had to laugh. At least I'm getting used to this, from publishers and agents. Yet, I keep plugging along. It is gratifying to have my political columns published in the Asheville paper and to be able to blog.

When you get to the point where you can laugh at "failure," that's a good sign. And when you can laugh WITH SOMEONE, and it is a genuine laugh, that constitutes a kind of healing in the relationship, or it indicates that the relationship is on a good path.
