you jest

from yesterday's Selfy Sunday Project

I am not very good at this game called Life, for I've not learned to see children crying without feeling pain, for I've not learned to watch animals being destroyed without wondering why. For I've not yet met a king or celebrity that I would bow down to, or a man so insignificant that I would use for a stepping-stone. For I've not yet learned to be a "yes man" to narrow minded bosses who quote rules without reason, and I've not learned to manipulate the feelings of others to be used for my own advantages, then cast aside as I see fit. No, I am not very good at this game called Life, and if everything goes well, maybe I never will be... ~javan

I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I 
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? 
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.

If you can hear this whispering you are dying. 

I never said I was frightened of dying.

It was the face of spring, it was the face of summer, it was the warmness of clover breath. Pomegranate glowed in her lips, and the noon sky in her eyes. To touch her face was that always new experience of opening your window one December morning, early, and putting out your hand to the first white cool powdering of snow that had come, silently, with no announcement, in the night. And all of this, this breath-warmness and plum-tenderness was held forever in one miracle of photographic is chemistry which no clock winds could blow upon to change one hour or one second; this fine first cool white snow would never melt, but live a thousand summers.

~ Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

Looking at the tight small gumball bud, it is
difficult to imagine the coming unfurling,
the coming foliage, the slow-opening beauty,
the insane fragrance. I watch
the drunk crazy ants come like explorers
to travel the tight white and green globes,
the holy-trinity-leaved peony buds.

~ Susan Firer

oh buggers
no bubbles today
but how about
a little cherry ant
sipping from
a little cherry gumball

my heart bleeds for boston

as I drove into work
this morning

i had all sorts
of ideas,
of posts,
of images
to share

things to say
to show
compassion
to show
strength
to show
solidarity

to tell those
that threaten,
whether they be 
internal
or 
external

to tell them
that the day
when good people
no longer
rush towards danger
to save those
that have fallen

that will the day
when they will
beat us

and no
that day
isn't here
yet....

but then
only one thing
really
sunk in

my heart bleeds for boston

today it rained

♥

There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.

You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.

Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again. 

Whenever it rains you will think of her.

~ Neil Gaiman

Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

compassionately she speaks;
therefore she is immortal.
unconditionally she speaks;

I am invisible
I am just me
I am the girl that no1 can see
I am here for no reason
My life a mistake 
My soul black,my smile fake

I am misunderstood
Judged and mislead
Hate is what you meant,but love is what you said

I am unloved 
I only feel pain
They all think im crazy or slightly insane

I am unheard
Silent screams and a faded call
You don't hold me up better yet you let me fall

I am invisible 
I am a teen
I am that girl who is extremely unseen.
