Years of easy avoidance of the uncomfortable choices have worn a deep groove from which I cannot escape. Mostly that suits me fine, because in case it's not obvious, I hate change, but today it bothers me intensely: the doctor says my choices have been bad, and I will die tomorrow. I'd like to change that but find myself unable to. The seconds tick by inevitably, mocking my inability to do anything with my life's dying breaths but wait in my now very uncomfortable groove.Gerry Hatrićhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172504526073441190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-36579419724147033802009-11-27T08:14:12.497-08:002009-11-27T08:14:12.497-08:00My head rests in the cradle of my hand, downhearte...My head rests in the cradle of my hand, downhearted. The fingers stroke the closest curls, trying to whisper, "It'll be alright," but it just couldn't sound convincing.<br /><br />"It's been too long," the hollow tapping of the rubber heeled shoe sighs impatiently. If only it could transfer that tapping to the fingers! How it longed to help those fingers deliver another story, another creation!<br /><br />Long, limber fingers twitched anxiously. "What can we do?" they cry eagerly. "What can we do?"<br /><br />The muse, from her distant balcony, looks down on her faithful messengers sadly. She shakes her head, turning away. "I would give you something, if only I had something to give."<br />- - - - -<br />Stupid writer's block.<br /><br />Congrats on reaching 50k, and far ahead schedule too!
