By Richard Wallace
My window to the world is small
But it is mine
*****
My house is small
My village is small
I do not have neighbors
What I have is mine
*****
I am a woman
I do not need a man
I have acquaintances
I do not need friends
I am self sufficient
I do not need assistance
I am confident
I do not feel peer pressure
*****
My home is sparse
I do not need more
My life is full
I could not ask for more
*****
I listen
I observe
I am aware
*****
My window to the world is small
But it is mine

I have a copy of Richard’s book – which is – full of LIFE – all of life – being human. Have a look – be prepared to be shaken up, more than a bit.
When I read this poem, in the book, my response was…..
‘My Window On The World’ – reminds me of ‘I am a rock’, by Paul Simon – and my reaction to someone saying that, would be – “Oh, yeh? You don’t need anyone? Oh yeh? We all need each other, we are a herd animal.”
