It's hit or miss whether we are remembering as 8 year olds or 18 year olds.

Let me count the ways... the poetry, your self-awareness, unflappable sense of humor, etc. So glad you excavated this treasure and shared it with us. Who knows? Maybe your 20-year-old self was recalling that 7-year-old experience! As you said, we were allowed to run much wilder back then than would be acceptable now. At any rate, that moon's been shedding silver linings on you for a long time, and She'll continue to do so for years to come.

I sometimes worry that I might have remembered a line from someone else's poem & think it's mine, yikes! Love that you found these connections!

Memory is a tricky thing. Perhaps especially for people with wonderful imaginations? Keeping copies of everything is a fine idea.

Then had a serious "I get you" moment when it turned out to be old journals. I have one of those boxes, not big enough to be a coffee table, underneath my bed. Yep. Never throw those old things out. Love seeing where those old words turned up in your work. Dorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421672075192660319noreply@blogger.com
