Happy New Year

Happy New Year.

I am not big on New year resolutions because, being a frail and fallible human as are we all, I know full well that good intentions too often fail to match future performance.

Still, that is no excuse for not even trying to improve the self. Do not take on full-blown individuation unless you sincerely mean it. Try incremental steps. Try it on for size.

May I suggest you continue to be plodding, largely moral, law-abiding and a wage earner in the ordinary, average sort of way, while continuing to group-live and nonindividuate in some mediocre stripe.

So you have some talent as a poet. Write 3 poems this month, and the rewrite them 3 time per month until July 1st. Then publish them online as a member of some poetry website.

It may amount to nothing, or this dabbling with maverizing and individual-living may light the pilot that really get your burner going.

5% commitment for 2016--not too expensive or too scary--give it a whirl.
