Lightly Child, Lightly.


I need to get at the truth of a thing and dig and dig until it is dragged painfully to light – another doglike quality.

  1. [I’ve tried to post my reply 3 times–example of this post!] An admirable approach to life…with the style of “Lightly Child, Lightly” I totally relate to this.

  2. This is exactly what my husband says of me. I need to get to the core of emotions, events, responses, etc., and I will dig till I hit a nerve in myself or others. I am never sorry to not find a bottom because there is always a place to dig and dig more. Glad I went a little farther to this post.
