I’m shy and coy myself & literature invites games, and confessing in code. Great artists like Joyce and Eliot, for example, did it consciously to keep readers/critics occupied for generations with riddles/symbols & thus ensure their immortality.
But, I also know that games can get in the way of truth-telling, human connection & even our own evolution as artists and beings. That’s why it’s exciting to see you coming out from your shell/hiding and more courageously & fully inhabiting yourself.

Shy & coy, what a pair. Perfectly said! As far as the other duo, Joyce & Eliot, the former I have never read. In fact, my reading of poets is a bit narrow, though the ones I've read was with an almost religious fervor. Thank you for your blessing; wishing us both that re-union with That Which Is... 🙏
