Here They Are

Used to fear the dentist and most things electronic The mere thought of eyedrops produced pleading and histrionics Trying new things or making a speech standing before a class with nothing to teach... Having to confess the many errors of my ways left me utterly chagrined, embarassed to say -- "Here they are," all my flaws and my weak points not realizing I was about to greatly disappoint -- Only myself, and not any others; for that is how to dig yourself a mountain from a molehill ~ my dear sisters and brothers...

Pretty self-reflective) On the other hand, the self-reflection is one of the things we have in common with gods. The animals have not. Only few great apes, but they are almost humans)

Thank you, Kurt... I'll give myself a 'B' in 'Reflectology,' based on 'pretty self-reflective.' What say you, Professor?! ~ Gershon

I don't know. I could never be academic enough to be a professor, even a junior one. I'm just an instructor, a teacher. That's all I have ever 'professed' to being. LOL. Thanks, Line! :) gw
