of my fate
but know this
and be certain
of your choice
a mind
like your socks
can be changed

of my fate

Rob, wise words and good to remember!
Thank you Lisa!
Rob, question: are you going to start using your birth name as your Nom de Plume? Just wondering 🙂
Haven’t decided yet Lisa? I may use both. Use LT for short and nonsense pieces, and rk for longer and more serious piece — or maybe rk aka LT?
I’m sure you’ll figure something out.
This whole thing has been strange Lisa, learning my birth parents and my original name — after 74 years.
I rather wish I could change out defective body parts as easily as changing socks. Then I would no longer have to live with a dead organ floating around in my body. Farewell, zombie pancreas!
Wouldn’t that be wonderful! I could rid myself of this damned pacemaker, of these numerous stents in my heart, of this embedded glucose monitor. But alas, we deal with it. No choice now.
