"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!
