  6. No matter how hard I try, I have great difficulty writing these forms. In this I'm afraid I lack the resolve.

  8. Hey Gautami, I like it! That's why I don't do New Years' Resolutions. I like sugar pills.

  9. Yes, ideals often look great on paper, and turn into nightmares when implemented-this was the twentieth century.
    Thank you for sharing this.

  11. Very nice!
    Being a list maker, I have much experience with resolve. It is not always bitter.

  13. Senryu, a new learning for me; from a human viewpoint rather than nature. There are many bitter pills hidden from view. Lovely.
