(i did the same thing with klonapin and i never looked back!<br /><br />"if i can wait..." "yes i can" thanks to my buddies on the road, mary, brenda, moigo, and pisces. xoxoxoox ~ltLaura Tattoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503853041054419287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075224319054587651.post-33460107364396640682009-08-09T11:37:33.155-07:002009-08-09T11:37:33.155-07:00poignant!!!!!poignant!!!!!Mary Stebbins Taitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10626507461216769140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075224319054587651.post-45638873727953064932009-08-07T06:39:59.785-07:002009-08-07T06:39:59.785-07:00"drug as a muse" mmm... perhaps the oppo..."drug as a muse" mmm... perhaps the opposite is also true - your poems are often brutal (and always brutally honest) - it is difficult to critique something so personal - but definitely a gripping read.<br />btw - the painting (top left) is recognisably you (as far as I can tell)Garthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637097897454660933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075224319054587651.post-70784492988195954252009-08-06T08:20:12.681-07:002009-08-06T08:20:12.681-07:00Somehow I feel this new treatment plan will help. ...Somehow I feel this new treatment plan will help. And certainly hope it does!! And, hey, Laura, your muse is as soft and fierce as a mother's love, as the spray and depths of the ocean, and nothing's ever gonna stop you from creating art. Whatever you have, you will work with. Prayers and wishes go with you...<br /><br />Writing about your illness, if I can call *it* that, and your drug regime, and the states of mind it all evokes in terms of your muse is a very interesting exploration of what creativity is and how it works. Beautifully written poem, as ever!<br /><br />Thanks for everything, you honey. xoxoBrenda Clewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01400505552810078505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075224319054587651.post-38037110738253933342009-08-05T23:05:02.142-07:002009-08-05T23:05:02.142-07:00thank you for that comment, maureen. you are so ri...thank you for that comment, maureen. you are so right... drug as Muse, that's put so well... and yes, i think i'm ready to come back to myself. i do hope so, and i'll do my best to make it happen. just to feel totally "clear" again: i can't imagine it, but i will probably very soon experience it, perhaps as early as four days from now! thank you for your most loving support and always brilliant insight. i wub you (so much)! xoxoxoxooxoxoxoxLaura Tattoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503853041054419287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075224319054587651.post-53413593100642216402009-08-05T21:47:58.940-07:002009-08-05T21:47:58.940-07:00Laura, I see now your apprehension as well as a ha...Laura, I see now your apprehension as well as a happy anticipation. It's not just concern about pain coverage. It's interesting to me that you wonder if the med might be a Muse. And you seem nervous about getting yourself back, like you might be paid a visit by a familiar stranger or a strange friend. I believe you are "ready for something different" and for someone who has in a sense been away for awhile.moigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946269638167149052noreply@blogger.com
