I feel like publishing at my blog because I'm thinking a lot lately about my own age.<br />Middle age... it is very strange.<br />Loved the way you observed the teenagers and it seems to me that what I'm experience is related to that somehow.<br />Having trouble to figure out.<br />Stopped 20 years of therapy in 2008 but I don't think that what I feel is something to be said sat at the cough - never could lie.<br />I believe that this great image of the woman surrounded by chairs has to do with all of that.<br />I look at teenagers too and the last time I saw a group in a bus coming from school was a happening for me.<br />Great post, as always.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05742171327602935061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-22069601000409495132011-11-17T02:17:21.961-11:002011-11-17T02:17:21.961-11:00Insightful, cogent and very well written...Insightful, cogent and very well written...Berownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524661173663604641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-26635711799363811882011-11-16T10:21:41.728-11:002011-11-16T10:21:41.728-11:00i loved everything about your magpie....your obser...i loved everything about your magpie....your observation of the teenagers at the start was so spot on...you know i remember being one of those guys oh so many years ago and sometimes think i knew more then than i do now...funny that..xxKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584116146098939783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-54851725779723432682011-11-16T05:49:50.849-11:002011-11-16T05:49:50.849-11:00Beautiful...I especially love your line "Plai...Beautiful...I especially love your line "Plaited into the loose pigtails<br />Of youth..."Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-88399653940210354332011-11-15T17:54:03.927-11:002011-11-15T17:54:03.927-11:00This is wonderful post, Nicholas.

The image, your introductory comments and poem all come together very nicely to give a picture of that terrifying time when we pass from adolescence into adulthood.<br /><br />Like you, I would not go back and do it all over again.

So, if you could, knowing what you know now, would you go back and do it again? I don't know you age, but it also brings to mind the song lyrics, 'If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.'
