Ramble Lane

I have a new address.... I have decided I will build my house on Ramble Lane... and I will ramble down a number of life's pathways through my writing...  What about me.... Well... like I told a friend just now... I'm going crazy... but not quietly... I'm writing and writing and writing....  Maybe no one will ever read a great deal of what I write... but there is a yearning inside me for people to understand me... guess its the ego thing....  Cest la vie...  So far I haven't resorted to strapping dynamite to myself and holding folks at the State Capitol hostage so that I could be heard....  Does anyone ever think about why people go on sprees like that young man did at Virginia Tech.... They want to be heard... They want life to be fair... and they want it so bad they tip over the edge....  Now don't everyone rush to their phone to call the FBI yet... I haven't tipped... I'm not even close....  My heart is just aching for all the voices that never were heard...   I am reading a book by Alice Walker...  "The Third Life Of Grange Copeland" Its my first book by her...  She is also the author of "The Color Purple"  I saw the movie and sometimes found the jump from scene to scene hard to follow...  but I'm having no problems with this book.... It has me crying... for everyone....  including myself...  Alice Walker sees and writes what I have only felt...   I'm feeling a bit more like maybe I'm ok today... so I will add a wee bit of progress to my Improve My Self Image goal... I'm still not smoking... hell yes sometimes I miss them... but I'm glad to be free of them more than I miss them.... and I started perhaps too high on the Be More Positive... so I won't lower it... I'm ok... but I'm still actually just striving to be where I said I was.... Hey it must have been a good day.... *Smile* Well enough of me... I think I'll go see how yall are... Hugs Elissa
