“There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic…”
Margaret (The Thirteenth Tale, Diane Setterfield)

Jail Break

Copy of October 22nd Post

Like someone who just escaped a lifetime jail sentence
Until now, locked up in a prison of my own making,
Suddenly finding a repreive and set free,
I am humbled by the fact so many others never make it,
Yet for some reason I was found worthy of this chance
To begin living life anew.
Recognizing this for the rare gift that it is
I’ll not squander it, but live in it fully
With a new sense of personal responsibility.
