Headstall's Reflections - 81. Chapter 81 Haiku Purging

All are good, Gary.  One of them reminds me of something you said long ago. I didn't believe you then, but the world has shown me I was very wrong in not paying attention.  Keep well.

Some interesting, and obviously personal reflections there, Gary.

And I'm really glad you wrote "but I'm okay" in the Warning at the top of the page.  

These purgatorial haiku reflect a lot of time spent thinking and considering. I’m struck by how many are quotable and interesting to ponder. And I’m very glad you’re okay. 

An interesting variety of poems and a lot of food for thought. Thanks for sharing and stay safe. 

Getting the bottled up emotions out is wonderful therapy, and you're in an enviable position to do it--a farm in the middle of woods where you can go out , stand in the middle of a clearing and scream your lungs out.  If I did that I'd be hauled away to another sort of farm specializing in fruit, and we're not talking about that growing on trees....I don't feel like being wrapped up in a soft padded jacket and room with a lock on the outside and a little window in the door for someone to look in on me occasionally.
I'm on the verge at times, having gone out twice since February to doctor's appointments, and even if I could go out, there's nothing to do with restaurants and stores closed.  Can't even sit on the stupid porch because it's over 90 degrees out  and the heat index is often over 100.

Go out and have a good scream for me and let me know how it went, please!

Definitely, it is a good thing to open the dark cupboards and kick out the creepies lurking within.

Bright flashlight you have, too!

Purging... hmm. I hope you feel better for it, Gary. Writing can be a good vehicle for getting stuff out of your system. The 'fat rat' made me smile. If it's a real crossroads, here's to you taking the right path. And 'positivity'. Yep, like every difficulty, set-back, defeat is a 'challenge', something to be relished. 

Look after yourself. 

Thanks, northie.
