JD.,
Most of us fall at one or more of these hurdles because of our human frailty and the innate need to put our selves first in this life. However, your poetic response is significant as it highlights the need for self examination. Then comes the crunch. What are we going to do about it????
An interesting poetic experiment which speaks to us all
Thank you for this
Keith
