Another congrats – you are prolific!
I really like this poem … has me shuddering in recall of some personal incidences of “youthful certainty” — indeed we don’t know what we don’t know. Good to reflect with relief rather than nurturing apprehension … though we need to keep our eyes open. (Love the imagery of geese flying past the window — I’ve often wished for wings to transport me out of the uncomfortable.)
Thanks, Jazz. I think I’m more persistent than prolific. And stubborn. 🙂 Oh, those days of mostly misguided youthful certainty! Wings would be nice, but feet will do. That, and automobiles!
Congrats!
