~ "The Need" . . .

"It's nice sometimes

to open up the heart a little

and let some hurt come in.

It proves you're still alive.

If nothing else

it says to you,

clear as high hill air,

uncomfortable

as diving through cold water,

I'm here!

However wretchedly I feel,

I feel!"

~Rod McKuen

I simply ♥ Rod McKuen's poetry.

It speaks to me.....deeply.

I have most of his books.

I sigh when I read them.

Anyway, this is for my "NowYou" project.

I was feeling cranky .... really cranky .....

and I didn't want to take these shots....

especially with no photoshop!

I thought "How can I?" 

But I'm committed to this project

and so I did.

This is who you'd see if you came knocking at my door.

Voilà.....c'est moi!!!!!
