Tanka #37...what we're given

That's the damn truth. That last line is powerful. Too many don't get that. Always trying to be something they're not.

I think it stems from too many expectations...and trying too hard to please others...instead of caring for yourself.
That drains the reservoirs of one's resources...there often is not much to spare...that becomes a problem when... we overshare... hugs, MizWillow, Ely

All of this is so true.
"we...
work with what we're given."
... it's the only way we can bring forth something real - creatively.  Any other approach is compensation.

One thing I've learned...there is no forcing
creativity...it has to come in its own time...
Our job is to be receptive...so we'll know it when it comes...nurture it to fruition...and see where it takes us...
Hugs, and thanks for the RL... Ely
