This internal chaos
that runs wild in your mind
This generating your own white noise
It must be so painful
and even more exhausting
Your life is a gift
that matters
and worth every moment of joy
be courageous
put way your mask
face your demons
And ride life-naked- into
that horizon of adventure

Well, I am going to try commenting using my FB account and see what happens–this is what I wrote (and fortunately, saved) yesterday:
I love the spirit of this. I tried to leave a comment earlier with no luck, so am trying to remember my first impression, which was of exuberance allied with smarts–there’s a lot of truth here. I especially can relate to the white noise wrappers–so many of them out there, a sort of protection that is really just a missing out. As for me, I’d prefer to be riding with the speaker in those last lines. Thanks so much for playing, Vivian, and have the most kickass of weekends.

Yay! It worked! BTW, J Ann Jones is my real name, sadly, not hedgewitch, which I like a lot more. 😉

Yes, this is, as hedge noted, exuberant, captures the spirit, of ride wild and free – of knowing, or learning to recognize the constraints are there, lessons, sure – but we can overcome – must learn how to, to embrace and trust and just go for it! Well done for a 55 Viv! Great energy in this!

Hi J, I can’t respond to messenger posts when I’m away from a computer- so will have a read of your message after work 😊

Hi V,
same problem here with my other FB account that I use for work in Hungary. Someone told me to use m.basic.facebook.com, but to be honest, if I didn’t have to have it open so people at work can teach me, I wouldn’t have tried it. Anyway, I’ll stop now. Have a nice day! Seriously. 🙂
