Mr. Inspiration

For most of my life, I have fought the rage and jealousy that has consumed me (that sounds like the opening sentence of some crackerjack Larry Brown novel ((RIP brother)). What I guess I mean is that my friend Timmy (sorry, I cannot call you T Bone) has created a blog and I love it. It has inspired me to write again, something I have not done in a while. I have learned that my anger and rage and jealousy and indignation and contempt have all done me no good. I don't know what I am trying to say. What I think I mean is that I have grown to accept my limits and faults and have learned to simply breathe them out of me whenever I am feeling one of these feelings. The key was not to admonish or try to eliminate the shadow that exists in me. If I can embrace the light and darkness in me than I will have the courage and power to move forward in my present life. Thanks, Timmy, for inspiring me to write again. (PS-You are a good writer, T Bone).
