Spaghetti on the wall is a messy business. You made sense of it with your allusions to Medusa, literature and the fall season. Tweeted this!
Thank you very much, Marian, for reading, commenting, and sharing.
I did a search and found the tweet. π
A good life is a blend of many things. It is not about perfection, but the messy mix of simply doing our very best, and giving our best to others. To me, this poem reflects all of that…in the end, we keep giving, keep doing, keep pouring out the wine of new beginnings, with the help of God, no matter the circumstances.
Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Linda! You are so right about the blend of many things in life.
