Making due with the time I have rather than the time I wish I had is a brilliant and timely (haha!) reminder. Years ago I read the words of someone I admire and she said she got her PhD in 10 minute increments, squeezing it in between a busy family life. The idea of this usually holds my yearning for more time in check - but not always.
"You, my friend, by virtue of your irrelevance, are free to say whatever it is you need to say, and free to write from the dead center of your life." Whew. Beautiful and scary and just what I need to hear.

Yes, please don’t jettison the yearning!
Funny how sometimes we find something that’s just right at just the right time.

I just liked that picture! 😂

Thought-provoking. The part about shame -- that got me, truly. Thanks for putting into words the eloquence of the writing journey.
🙏🙏 Thanks for reading!
Yes.
What writer couldn’t like that?
What Poet couldn’t love it?
I’ll sleep on this tonight, Steve, and have a relaxing morning doing whatever feels right.
Thankyou from AustraliA.
