Wonderful. The format itself added to my anxiety as I read it, conveying a feeling of ideas presented too fast, like I could barely keep up, like I wasn't fully in control of how fast the words were coming at me.
What great feedback! Thank you for that... some people do not prefer that prose-ish form so I always wonder, but I started it in a more traditional way and it didn't seem to have the rush needed, so glad that worked for you!
Oh I could come up with a great list! But I love the way you mixed them up so that many different aspects of our lives were in juxtaposition, and that the end result is that they make us who we are.
Can so relate! On the edge of succumbing but managing to stay afloat because being alive requires it. Love the reference to pools of tranquility and sunrise. Marcus Aurelius would love this!
