I originally learned on a typewriter in HS yes. How could you tell I was leaving two spaces behind every sentence? Let me guess, some kind of web interface.

Please confirm this one for me. Is it not proper to leave two spaces after a sentence when writing? Is this just for forums?

Cornflake described it better than I could.

Yes, it is of great interest.

Recent thoughts on recovery.

I use symbology as Temple suggests (for her it's "doors") and this helps me understand my own thoughts. Here is a connection between "The Horse and the Rider" and a story I wrote about the recovery experience (so far) called "The Phoenix Rising".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have always and will always be the Horse and the Rider. When I first recovered I was also the Phoenix Reborn, awake and aware, rising from the ashes, writhing from atrophy, still smoldering.

Now I am the Phoenix Rising, gaining altitude under my own power and occasional lift or depression from the shifting gales.

Soon I will be the Phoenix Soaring, steady, resting my wings on the wind, wandering over the world.

Bravo! Your story makes so much sense to me! Thank you! Btw, I also learned to type on typewriters, & put 2 spaces between sentences. It doesn't look right when there's only one. (JMO)
