I kind of feel that, unless I'm just trying to shove words into an A/B/A/B rhyming format, I'm trying to write my way around a big brick wall.
It's raining like it ought to this morning, and with the rain came a sense of equilibrium.
I hated balloons and flowers when I was a kid, because I knew that they would deflate and die within a few weeks. The expectation of elimination ruined their beauty for me.
But you know what? Everything ages, changes, and in some cases, dies. It's okay to be sad and frusterated, but it's also okay to be joyful over all things that allow joy. Not okay, but essential, actually. Sadness and anger are both things that can cover over you like tar unless you constantly push them back. You can feel terrible all day, but you've got to aknowledge that the sandwich you ate was good, and it felt nice to stretch, and you saw that one little kid eat out of the planter box while his mom wasn't looking and it was fucking funny.
So I'll let the sad come when it wants, but get all the good out of it I can.
Posted by Sonya at May 7, 2004 09:33 AMI found this in a letter a friend sent to me, although it may not help...it is very true
No storm can last forever!
It will never rain 365 days consecutively.
The rain may ruin your wedding or your roof!
The rain can blind you and flood out the basement.
But no matter how hard it rains, one day the water will dry up...
No storm,
not even
the one
in your life,
can last
forever.
When you get through this you are going to be something else...
A better,
stronger
You!

Just imagining a kid eating out of a planter box while his mom isn't looking is fuckin' funny!
You are sunshine personified!
I will now be singing the "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy" song all day long!
Posted by: THE COMTE at May 7, 2004 12:05 PMA little boy told me yesterday that his goldfish, Dennis, is not going to die like his other fish because Dennis is too old to die. I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I thought I should let you know.
I planted some sunshine for you here in Tucson, just so you can have some whenever you feel like it.
I don't know quite how to say just how right you are here. And it isn't in a way that makes you some sort of right but more in the way that makes this healthy. That sort of right. :)
