Yes, 'speed bumps'...love your Senryu's imagery for the 'setbacks' theme, John. Best wishes for the contest. Sandra

Sandra, there were some that were kinda like the song lyric from the 70's - "slow down you move too fast, we gotta make the moment last"... I had a few mentors who slowed me down so that I could catch up to myself.

Troublesome - but necessary at certain times in our lives. Thanks for stopping to read and comment.
