Poetic thoughts from a tv show to remain nameless…

They say art imitates life. Sometimes what I watch feeds me. Sometimes it sympathizes like friends. Sometimes it acts like a mirror or photograph. Great art speaks.

Pull me out and remind me who I am
You know you have always held my heart
Let’s hear stories about [...]

“April, what makes great art to you?” he asked.

 

 

Artistic temperament sometimes seems a battleground, a dark angel of destruction and a bright angel of creativity wrestling.  ~Madeleine L’Engle

     I often underestimate the internal battle ground in me as a creative person. It is overwhelming some times how volitile the emotional roller coaster can be when you are suppose to be open and in touch [...]

An amazing Anne Sexton poem I just read…

I didn’t write this but I am in awe of it. Thought it wise to share.
 
Words
Be careful of words,even the miraculous ones.For the miraculous ones we do our best,sometimes they swarm like insectsand leave not a sting but a kiss.They can be good as fingers.They can be trusty as the rockyou stick your bottom on.But [...]

“Some days, doing ‘the best we can’ may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do. But life isn’t perfect — on any front — and doing what we can with what we have is the most we [...]

When We Close the Space Between Us…

“Where did Pollyanna go?”
She asked me.
“Not always a laugh a minute it seems.”
I smiled slowly, sadly
And shrugged a shoulder
And I watched her and replied,
“Where’s your big dreams?
Seems to me we’re both a little jaded.
Seems to me we’re neither one that tough.”
Cynically she laughed and she nodded adding,
“But whoever would have guessed
It could be so rough.”
Just [...]

Simple and Plain….

Simple and plain
 
I keep hearing just tell the story
Keep it simple, make it plain
Don’t add ruffles, don’t add any laces
Just a stripped down model, Plain Jane
Show, don’t tell and certainly don’t preach
They have a right to think; no highfalutin speech
Let them choose for themselves
You don’t need to embellish
There’s no need to make it [...]

Acid Rain
Current mood: artistic

You say things I know are meant just to hurt me
You’re hurting and want to watch someone else bleed
It’s sort of like watching someone else’s wreck on a high way
There’s a macabre strain in you and you feel the need
 
To lash, and strike, to bite, [...]

A funny thing happened on the way to clean the….
Current mood: cooky/wacky

Nana was coming, so full of delight
 The children were rushing to help with the night’s
 Grand preparations and rigmarole
All was well til I flushed the toilet bowl
It was quite blue and foamy somewhat like the east coast
I’m still cleaning bubbles [...]

Risk and Trust

Trust
Current mood: thoughtful
Category: Religion and Philosophy
 
I received an email this A.M. that I found fascinating and gave me cause to pause and wonder to ponder so I am passing on the question. I was asked:
Who do you trust more?
Your
Doctor?
Pharmacist?
Hair Dresser
Attorney?
Maid?
Friend?
 OR
Mother-In-Law?
(trusting “myself” is not a choice)

But that’s what I hear….

 But That’s What I Hear
 
You call me first instead of waiting
For me to reach out to you
You never think much about it
But I do.
You act as if I know things
As if I have a contribution to your world
even in the little things
You don’t do it to remind me of my value
But [...]
