I went in for coffee on the half morning shift just freaking out at how bad this job was, standing in a really bad spot, highly dangerous, in order to swing a chalk as the blows neared the end, so I could record the correct number of blows per inch. That put me right next to the steam hammer. If anything came apart I would have been torn apart by an explosion of steel. I was so cold and wet I hurt, and getting flash burn from welding too...I wasn't getting paid near enough.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-75629255252696023092009-04-27T07:47:00.000-07:002009-04-27T07:47:00.000-07:00Cherie, It's all point of view, but there are othe...Cherie, It's all point of view, but there are other pieces, like how after a certain age, you let your body go and have hell to pay trying to get it back. My mom died in a bed she couldn't get out of because she had lost all her muscles, because it hurt too much to exercise. There's more but that is a strong signal, how the body rusts itself shut. Using the term rust is not exactly wrong because it is oxidation that causes breakage from the aging process, why we supplement with all those anti-oxidants. So use the word seasoned carefully, my dear. I love you for it. :)<br /><br />Karen, I have considered a book. I even wrote one years ago to finish my degree. It is not in the works as of now. I have over 600 poems since last August.<br /><br />HB, doors come along whether you are on the right path or not. Measuring spiritual success is not easy because the criteria are singular to the individual life, not easily known and perhaps quite odd by conventional standards.<br /><br />Crow, as I think about it I ran a tangent off a poem of a lynching written by Julie Buffaloe-Yoder. You can catch her blog in my list of sites, The Buffalow Pen.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-90959220334276762412009-04-27T07:45:00.000-07:002009-04-27T07:45:00.000-07:00'One of the things I like about poetry, I don't ha...'One of the things I like about poetry, I don't have to only write my current life, not any more.

It may be hackneyed, but I think it's true. The thing we have to come to understand, which I think you have, is that we don't open or close the doors. They are there, we just have to go through them. I often think about how one small, seemingly insignificant occurrence can have life-changing consequences. What if I had taken that other road - the one more or less traveled? <br /><br />Your experiences could be a book, poetry or other. Have you considered it? The Tao of Christopher? ;-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003379181294550035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-45430561234814532322009-04-26T19:51:00.000-07:002009-04-26T19:51:00.000-07:00You are not old, you are seasoned.
