Thank you, Coleman!
Such a powerful way to show how inner shame refuses to be hidden. Beautifully done.
Thank you, Jeremy. Was hard to find the right words. Glad they rang true!
We know so much about this cowboy with only a few words.
Thanks, Eric. Working hard to make this happen. Some days, I think I’ll step off the train but yours and others comments keep me true to what I hope to accomplish.
Oh, I love the image here. The bruise on the outside and the inner bruise of shame. Amazing!
Ahh, H.A. thank you for seeing this!
I wonder if he’s hanging his head or holding it high?
Had that position in one of the earlier drafts but too many syllables…sigh…
You are the master in the right words and conciseness!
Thank you, Linda. Learning as I go!
Love this, very cool!

Sometimes, defeat can be a victory, shame being a mere byproduct. This sentence has me thinking, Pam.
Well stated, Lee!
What a character you’ve painted with the cowboy! I think I love him, bruised knuckles and all!
Me, too!
Three nouns become verbs…rivers, shame, shine…or perhaps not: Thus this ambiguous train lumbers on..,
Yep, verbs!
Rings true, Pam
🙂
“Rivers shame shine cannot blur”—a wonderful line for the ears and thinker of an image!
Thank you, Katrina!
