Roots
From my father: curiousity of things spiritual, lack of trust in others, anger, endurance, a soft heart, pleasure in quiet places, desire to be isolated.
From my mother: compassion, creativity, strength, hard exterior, perfectionism, unwillingness to admit defeat, fear of exposing emotion.
Lack of I love you . . .
Lack of hugs . . .
High expectations . . .
Long ropes . . .
Long enough to hang oneself.
Not their fault. They were amazing.
And as much as I claim to hate that which I am, would I really want to be anyone else?
No.
