The Loss & Gain Paradox

The Twisting Tail

The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth.

acrostic tanka: singular origin aka peace

Primary colours
Exposed in bleeding circles
Apt generations
Combined by salival seals
Equality lost in me


You can never
love a person
as much

It will all be okay in the end

But watching his face
in the last moments
I don’t think

Our tears contain a fluid called lysozyme that aids in the destruction of certain bacteria. Without it, eye infections would soon cause most victims to go blind.


Tears form
A mound of torn tissue
My scars scream
Reminding me
Of the past

AT LEAST IT ISN’T THANKSGIVING

NANMYKEL.COM

This Fourth of July I find myself running short on love of country and of myself.  Maybe that’s why I responded with so much warmth to an article about family love–either families of origin or chosen families of mutual support.  It’s in the New York Times and maybe you can only read it if you pay a dollar a week to recieve it on the internet, like I do.  Seems like the last time I tried to share I got blank squares on my site….If you can, try it:  Chosen Families, by Melissa Kirsch.  I’m not even going to try it, because I hate to see my messy posts when I do something wrong, so I’ll just try to convey some of her thoughts.

Melissa Kirsch writes in this morning’s ‘s  This Morning’s  column that despite an absent or unsupportive biological family–and even if it is intact–supportive relationships with friends…

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

“not just for ourselves, but for our children, and for our children’s children.”

and can, indeed, work, but

    We can Do Better.

Filosofa's Word

This song was written for the 1967 movie The Happening, which starred Anthony Quinn, George Maharis, Michael Parks, Robert Walker Jr., and Faye Dunaway. The film flopped, but the song went to #1 in the US, giving The Supremes their 10th chart-topper in that country.  The songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland co-wrote this with Frank DeVol, who was the musical director for the…
