I suspect #7 didn't come to mind because it comes naturally to you Leah. *just be you*
I have a handful of folks in my data bank (alive or dead) who I would call Real People and you are one of them. "I am irrelevant and irrelevance is super relaxing." This indicates a mature self- awareness and an understanding of one's singular place in the grand scheme of all things universal. Because I always make time for poetry, here's one for you to read in your hammock:
It was always one of my least favourite things when bloggers of yore wrote long apology introductions about why they hadn’t written for ages and Substackers doing it is no different. It’s like reading someone’s excuse for not doing their homework and is rarely interesting.
But… I’m SURE I’ll have done it myself somewhere. I don’t blame people. It’s a natural instinct to want to explain a slacking off or an unexplained absence. And yet, as you rightly point out, the likelihood is absolutely no one noticed. Much as I love reading many of the newsletters I subscribe to, I think there is only one that I expect on a certain day and look forward to – mainly because it’s always full of skive-y links for me to click on at the end of the week.
So good advice Leah! You’ll be glad to hear I have already been slacking off very efficiently

'A Summer Solstice Promise'
light sustained brightly
sun leaps high arching slowly
awareness widens

I am happy for you that you are feeling relaxed after taking a break from writing regular posts.
Just wondering if you are planning to continue with your break?
I am interested in your thoughts and words and miss reading them.
So glad you’re well. Enjoy! ❤️
Not joking - but you wrote a howler!
I absolutely agree with that
OK, OK. Which is it? Masturbate or go limp? Says himself.
