However, and this is just a silly thought (I know we're meant to only say positive things - and this is not a negative, just a thought) - I found myself skipping the word 'that' in each of these contrasting couplets... Perhaps it makes the words turn slightly differently, but to me each statement worked without that word. *blushing* So, there, now I've gone and shot myself in the foot completely, gone against all etiquette, showed my obnoxious side to all and sundry and you'll think I'm a horrible know-it-all-wannabe... *sigh* I really did love it though - and I love your artwork!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918334757012103109.post-24921675037891305832014-05-22T03:00:22.443-04:002014-05-22T03:00:22.443-04:00that's our true nature..a blend of yes and no....that's our true nature..a blend of yes and no...and we are bundles of contradictions no doubt...you've<br />expressed it wonderfully...and love that Plath quote..Sumana Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333363799083094084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-918334757012103109.post-90507867099481984032014-05-21T21:45:21.678-04:002014-05-21T21:45:21.678-04:00we are all possibilities aren't we - how often...we are all possibilities aren't we - how often we limit ourselves.
