    What a beautiful piece you have written, Miss Letty. It truly is very poignant: it touches my heart completely. I believe each and every human being undergoes such hardships in life in order to achieve a desired outcome, so to speak. The general idea was pulled off excellently by you. Regards.

    Well written Letty, I too feel the weight of the World on my shoulders sometimes. We keep striving on, day after day, glancing back at our mistakes, because we do not want to drown. So we become stronger through Life's trials and errors.
    Peace and Blessings

    Letty,

    I now appreciate your praise even more with regards to my own use of imagery, you relate your feelings of helplessness and despair very purposefully and eloquent in this piece... the vision of looking back at the finish line and of drowning with the weight of the world upon you, it's very vivid. So as I said, I'm humbled by the praise of someone who she herself has such a great and unique mastery when it comes to the use of imagrey!

    Cheers,
    Richard
