wrenauld wrote me that he had trouble posting a response to you. He sent it to me to see if I have better luck. thenewgreen told me there were some bugskys to work out so that might be part of the problem. Here is wrenauld's response to you:

hey rezzeJ, your poem really resonates with me. Anxiety!!! Raaahh!!! It seems like I may be working with some similar issues.

    It’s a stark contrast to the past where decisions were made fast without your fragility.
I like this way of wording it. I'm often nostalgic for an older version of my reality, when this double-conscious or "internal persistent resistance" [paraphrase] wasn't so busy scrutinizing my decisions.

Anyway, wonderful poem. Though it's partially cliche to say, it does feel good knowing that "I'm not alone" - to know that my issues are not WHOLLY particular, but actually experienced by in some sliver of resemblance, by others : )

P.S. A month back I commented on a post, trying to articulate some of my anxieties. Here it is, in case you're curious: http://hubski.com/pub?id=69711
