once a beautiful riverbank, full of beautiful flowers,
the bluebell now stands alone.
One by one, the others were picked off by passersby or eaten by the deer
But the deer don't care for the bluebell
and no one wants to disturb the very last flower
so she stands alone on the riverbank.
was she not beautiful enough? or tasty enough? she wonders to herself
no, she was more than enough, better than enough,
she was precious, and strong
resilient
and without her, the riverbank would be lost of all beauty
so she must stand alone, and hope that others will be inspired by her beauty,
and bring others to join her
but for now,
she is
a single flower on the riverbank
the bluebell

divided we fall, united we stand
today we watched some videos in anatomy about safe sex and STDs.
One video was from the 80s and was asking young people what their impression of abstinence or safe sex was..
anyhow, the end of the clip was of two young boys, probably around 10 years old.
the one boy kept going on about how if you know a girl and you know she doesn't have any disease and you both want to do it then of course you would do it. then he went on to say how you should use a condom and a diaphragm. His last comment, in reference to using both a condom and a diaphragm, was "divided we fall, united we stand"
the class exploded at this point
I was in tears
Divided we fall, united we stand - use a condom AND a diaphragm

content
I'm not so good at being that
I really try, though.
but maybe that's the point - if you are content, you don't have to try to be or do anything different.
so in trying to be content, I am not.
darnit

the tingle
Do you ever watch a movie, and there is that scene that just hits a sensitive spot
you feel a tingle somewhere that is slightly unnerving but also a little thrilling.
I feel it in the pointer finger in my left hand. always right there.
profound, vulnerable, dramatic moments - the finger tells

despite the findings in my last post...
I am falling in love
with trees
and grass
and other more responsive beings
