Everybody knew Huffstickler in the Hyde Park Austin neighborhood. Cars would honk as they passed him sutting in front of La Dolce Vita coffee on Duval. He was single then, retired fron the UT library, his last lady love having suicided in Houston. Ah but the ladies loved him. He was such a good listener and offered short, great advice.
Thank you for bringing poets to life; poets I have not found before. This is a door knocker walking into the home of my own experience. Your posts always are welcomed and belong.
So we’ll said. The self critique is our biggest adversary. I never thought what it really meant to explore that. Some years of therapy has taught me there is so much growth after the discomfort.
Haha yes. Paying attention to our bodies is so key. Really takes a level of vulnerability. I’m learning to give myself more grace everyday. Grace to feel what I feel - but not to the extent where I permit myself to be an asshole 😂

“Somewhere…there may be a line that lasts.” Thank you for lasting these.
The words of a full human being, whole within himself.

I have lived that life.
Reminds me a little of "emotion recollected in tranquility". Wordsworth
Life day to day simpicity but it makes you think so takes one forward
Agreed! That resonated with me too. I wonder what it takes to get to that feeling.
