"she was strong,
but her heart was weary."
~Nausicaa Twila
There are times when I feel
Nausicaa Twila has absolutely
hit the nail on the head!
A poet I much admire, she only
writes in lower case letters as if
to underplay her passion for all
things.
I have always thought of myself
as strong. Still there are days . . .
And, today is one of those days.
My heart is indeed weary and
I don't particularly find or feel
any strength left.
Promise, cross my heart, I'm so
not complaining or feeling sorry
for myself. It's just I get that I'm
exhausted and need to rest.
Alas, at my age, I don't always
awaken too refreshed and ready
to rattle!
Can't help but wonder if being
nigh onto a hundred entitles me
to read all day!
Bottom line . . . any excuse will
do and I do have a library of
some 8,000 books.
Methinks I need to read faster!
