Me (in 55 words)

Why?
oh god ... well
if I only knew
the reason for that
then I could change it
alter myself
entirely
so instead of being
an individual
as I am
even so
I could be
divergent
or maybe not
what matters here
is the difference
but it's not to be
not yet
now
I'm just
me

    oh jos, this is great. the cadence (is that the same as rhythm?) is perfect. what a universal question. i;m pretty sure there will come a time when you will embrace you and know what i know and others who care about you know already. you are perfect as you are. i hope sometimes--even for a second--you know that!!

    'the reason for that?"

    jeez louise, jos, i wish i knew too...

    your honesty is a gift to everyone else, jos.
    TSUP!

    love love

    Hey KJ {{massive hug}}

    My first go at 55 ... it's quite a challenge. At the same time brevity suits me :) ... in some ways anyways. xoxox

    Feeling flawed tonight I come home from work late...house empty...children about their lives growing up...and I hinge myself on the word divergent. Would that clear things up? Or simply be like a Look, over there, kinda tactic. It wasn't me, it was my other me!

    55 is a huge contrast to your normal but it's good to see you flex your muscles so. I'm with KJ, you're pretty darn fine the way you are.

    never change a hair on your head, auntie jos. you are perfect as you are.

    i love what erin wrote "it wasn't me, it was my other me!" reminds me of how i explain the chaos i leave in the kitchen "a big boy did it and ran away..."

    I, for one, am just delighted that you are you.
    Don't change even if you could. Why would you?

    I do not wish you altered (selfish me), so if you divirge, in the not too distant future, be sure and leave the Jos I love untouched by new winds. Let sand that stings, removing top layers of skin for a new self, let it come, if it must...but leave me my Jos as well. I shall love you both, equally.
