Love and peace with Alice

Alice and her army from Wonderland (created with Bing Image Creator powered by DALL-E 3)

Isn’t it better never than late? –

From Pablo Neruda’s Book of Questions

In this poem Alice Dora Hellberg Demeanour, my personified nerodivergence is answering like an Echo. If you want to know more about Alice I refer you to this post Slumber Party with Alice.

My life reached a high                                I
At work I go up and above                            love
My to-do list a never ending queue                   you
Always happy to give someone a hand                  and
Even picked up again my quill                        will
Compartmented in my mind a dis tract               distract
Place hostile comments in this hutch                 such
Even manage doing things I loathe at                 that
Got my tools to keep the important in my view        you
Caught my life cheese straw on the yummy crisp end  spend
Still I can get off the rails at anytime             time
Alice, let us make peace forthwith                   with
You have a too strong and resourceful army            me.

    • Thanks, Björn! Indeed the answer for me is to make peace and work along with my traits rather than fighting them. 😉
      And of course spend enough time to be creative and e. g. write poems or draw something.

  6. “My to-do list a never ending queue”

    I so get that. I need to make a grocery list and I have forgotten that fact so many times today. Here we are. After midnight (my time) and I still haven’t started the damn list.😫 I got lots of other stuff done, though, and there’s still plenty in queue.🫣
