Cally, I can't tell you how much your words meant to me. The thought that someone halfway around the planet could identify with one of my poems gives me new inspiration, as well. Many of us go on for so long writing in the dark, giving up other (more socially valued) things for it, and never knowing if we've made the right choice or are just deluded--which is, I guess, what "The Mermaid Story" is about.
