131 most days it feels i’m rejected a dozen times before my morning coffee is done

131
most days it feels i’m rejected a dozen times before my morning coffee is done
and over the years, i was often hurt by this fact
yet upon further reflection i’ve realized i’m in good company
artists and inventors and revolutionaries and romantics tend be ignored or written off or forgotten more than most
and no one in all history has heard no more, had more doors slammed in the face, or collected more spit in the eye
than the one who created this place
so now, rather than collecting hurt when i am rejected
i count myself fortunate to share something in common with such a crowd

All my books are free forever including, Where Whispers Willow, a collection of 100 reverie, musings and lingering dreams.
