TWILLY's blog: "Others speak for me so much better"

Either not as old as I thought I was

Or there is a nasty prank afoot

I always thought I had such a firm grasp  

Of myself

I remember my first husband asking me when I was 19

"What do you want to do with your life?"

I answered with alacrity "I want to be a wise old woman"

He thought that answer to be ridiculous

Until I left him

Then he at least said he understood

But now I am not sure that I understand that goal in life

I have spent so much time & energy

In plumbing the depths to cultivate my "wiseness"

That maybe I ignored simple things

Do I even have the capacity for simple things?
