Emotionally yours…
In order to feel great joy, you have to feel sorrow.
When I was a small child, my mother could not allow me to watch Lassie.
Even before I could describe feelings, I had deep ones. When Lassie would whine, I would cry. At least, that’s what I was told…
I do remember having blood drawn. I would break into tears so often that my mother took me to the doctor.
On the flip side, I felt excitement and joy over such simple things. I still do.
In artwork, one can not display light without darkness. Deep feelings have a wide spectrum.
Is it a curse? I would not trade that ability for anything.
Of course, when we are young, we believe everyone comes from the exact same place. It was not until recently that I discovered not everyone seems to have the same depth or ability to experience emotion.
This sounds hopelessly condescending…I do not mean to.
The creative spirit is based in emotion. The most creative of us have traditionally bordered on mental illness.(so we believe)
Who’s to say that the “mentally ill” are not the enlightened ones?

nice memoir start
Thank-you…maybe I’ll have to continue đ
i am glad i discovered this…firstly Lassie would always make me cry..happy endings and animals do it for me more than the sad things in life…a happy ending after enduring lifes trials wells me up…secondly i often wonder too about the mentally ill..at least they havent been truly conditioned!!! many thanks Pete
Thanks Pete…I stopped by your site and was overwhelmed!
In time, I hope to connect with your group.
I’m very pleased that you enjoyed this.
Fine work. Refined sentiment. Glad to “meet” you. Here from Poets Rally. Wecome.
Thanks for your kind words.
I feel like the “country mouse” visiting the city. The surroundings are new and exciting.
Your bio tells me that I am in wonderful company. đ
Oh this is so me, Susan, i cried a lot when i was kid from watching movies, and Lassie was one that i could remember, oh how it broke my heart…
Until now I am still a very emotional and easily touched person, have very huge empathy, and I agree with you that it’s a creative quality, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything too!
Wonderful to meet you here via Jingle’s Rally, my warmest hug for you đ
