One feels shame. It takes a good portion of courage to master this troubling recognition. I learn humility late in life.

I"ve been reading the poetry. . so powerful. were you there?
humility? what's that. guess it isn't late enough. the body has been humble now for years but the rest of me is doing just fine. . .to bad to waste all of this when the body gives out. . . .claire
I wonder if courage is what I need instead of humility.
