Chronophobia

from the ABC set

Live for the moment,
live for the day:
make an impression
with feet of clay.
Pick up the pencil,
pick up in bars:
dance to the music
of crashing cars.
Remember the first time,
remember the last;
hold back the stop watch,
it's ticking too fast.
Do what you need to,
do what you must:
write in the water
with a handful of dust.

That really hit home. It's comforting to see ones feelings put into words.

Hi Val,
I´m a member at UKA but for some reason it locks me out at random so I haven´t been on for ages.

PM Andrea she'll know what to do. Val

I managed to sneak in undercover, by fooling either my firewall or UKA's; either way - I posted it.

Well Done. Val

Ewan Read the PM I left you on UKA, I think you may have misunderstood about the challenge. Val

Can't log on to the forum, says password/login inactive... this is normal for me with UKA
