The children's poem I will keep forever!! I would like to add in reference to pages 22-23 that it was very much like that for me too. The only difference is I didn't enjoy a freedom from fear always! Dealing with these demons has allowed me to move on and celebrate all the fantastic stuff that surrounded me growing up, with such an abundance of everything! My memoir of Pam is coming along and after a couple of days with Susie at Rottnest, I am now adding more fibre. We talked for hours, laughing, crying with such warmth and humour. So much I didn't know. Keep up the great work, the way you are sharing it is wonderful. Thank you!

You might like to follow this up by looking at the work of Roz Ivanic at Lancaster University, in particular in a book "Writing and Identity", Chapter 10, 'Multiple possibilities for self-hood in academic discourse' - maybe possibilities of the hundred languages!
