when i was a wee girl

(very small)

i did not always pronounce things correctly

a word i struggled with

(for years)

was renaissance

not because i could not say it

(i could)

but because i got it confused with

resistance

now, 

i am far older

(and perhaps wiser)

and i wonder

was that wee girl

(i was very small)

onto something?

something i had not yet considered?

(it is possible)

in a way,

is not a renaissance

a

resistance?

do you not

(in a renaissance)

resist?

the dictionary

(i love dictionaries)

says a renaissance

is a rebirth

or revival

when you resist something,

are you not

(eventually)

forced to remake (rebirth) that thing?

perhaps the two are connected-

or perhaps it is merely late

(i am tired)

and i have been reminiscing for far too long.
