The Victory of Defeat
Poem written after a period of anxiety and depression;
too much responsibility and a bit of an identity crises.
Praise God for “Working all things together for good” ... and ... XANAX!! :)

The Victory of Defeat

I’m battle worn and weary
But the battle is my own
I, myself, mine enemy
Demand to mount the throne.

Nice to hear form you again!

As I read your words I thought how often the deepest insights come through the hard times and the struggles to figure things out. Agree?
Thanks for sharing that bit of your journey. Marilylle

Thanks Marilylle. I do agree. I was talking to one of my daughters (5 daughters, 1 son) this morning. I live in Kansas, she in Virginia. We talked about that very thing. She was hit by a car on her way to school when she was 13. It left her with memory and organizational limitations. We were talking about how our lives changed from that day. The very visible hand of God in all of it; and the fact that we would not change anything even if we had the chance.
One of the strange things we noticed was that of all my children, She, the one I thought needed me the most, is the one that God moved far away. All the others live near by. But we can understand that today :):)
Thanks for responding, it has been a long time. I'll go to your site and see what pictures you are taking. Judy

You've been gone a while. Was concerned, thought something might have happened. Perhaps something did.

I've gone through some changes, none of the pleasant. Life moves on, with me or without me. I am getting back into this life again to make the best of what remains. I am not posting as much, however. People who aren't me won't understand. No point in trying to make sense of it to others. Need to live life as it unfolds.

Take care.

When I first rec'd your post ... I went to your site and read about Contra dancing. It was interesting and I researched it somewhat and watched UTube :) It was fun. I didn't get back to you right away so went back to your site to see about posting there. Oh my. I couldn't believe your post about Lorrie. I'm so sorry. I read only far enough to know you went through a terrible battle. You're right ... lot's has happened to you

Thanks for getting back to me

New Poem

[glome]

Hi again.
I wrote a new poem yesterday. It probably is a little hard to follow. I didn't think about it yesterday, but this morning when I read it I thought of you.
See my last entry, Sweet Tyranny. I know you will understand, or at least feel, much of it :)
