Consolatory Gift
Sat Sep 24 2005

I’ve noticed recently, that not only I’m a Backwards Bird With A Big Beak, but also I do emotions in untraditional way too…when I feel happy I feel that urge to spread the smile, send around some poetry, leftover cookies, spare parts of sunshine…but when I’m upset, I try to run away and hide…and sometimes its just doesn’t feels right…shouldn’t I be doing all in reverse order: vent off misery, but selfishly keep the happiness to myself?...hmmmmm…

Just watched this movie…The Great Gatsby. 1974 adaptation of F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel. They say: Romantic Drama. I’m so susceptible to anything that called Romantic…They fooled me…The movie was enchanting. I think they did quite well in transmitting the mood. And everything was fine…until of course the Drama part started…this is the bit I don’t like. And the movie suddenly turned too sad to watch and I’ve turned off the sound first (that’s what I do to “smooth” the emotional impact, I’m that pathetically sensitive, yes) and finally I just switched off the damn thing just about 10 minutes before the movie ended… Now how “clever” is that, eh? The movie was completely wasted on me. And so was my mood…so now, am sitting here totally depressed, writing empty words, because I don’t want to go to bed in such a mood…oh well…I guess some big poetry pill is in order here…
Anyway, I’m off to surfing for consolatory gift – a piece of poetry…and I wonder, what it'll be today...[~sighs, rolls up her sleeves and dives into the endlessness of WWW]

***
Art thou pale for weariness
Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,
Wandering companionless
Among the stars that have a different birth,
And ever changing, like a joyless eye
That finds no object worth its constancy?
[Percy Bysshe Shelley ]

Ahhhhh...so much better now...:-)

    hi there lovely Lana
    no never ever stop spreading that smile around hee hee I love your smile
    heres a theory on this when we feel stressed and burdened we transmit this but we dont often take the time to spread the good news and cheer and that is the life force that keeps us alive

    yes poetry that cafe that I said that I hosted the open mike for poetry actually that lasted two years that was beautiful to hear everyonejbare their souls and wipe the dust from the streets off their hearts

    you have given me a couple of comments that were longer and truly poetical about the recreations the next time I visit I will give you a poem that is my way of spreading the good news.

    on the outset, girls tend to be more expensive and high maintenance but i think the boys may seldom buy stuff but when they do or it needs be, oh boy! aint they so costly? lol. just the toys for the [ big ] boys would already drive a mom or a wife crazy. ***rolls eyes.

    Bone Throwing...this looks like a very descriminative movement: it's only can be passed from woman to woman? and the idea of knowing answers for real suddenly scares (what if it;ll be true?!) Maybe we should not be really looking for answers


    I don't think it is only women to women.. I have read some of this work.. and I find it so exciting. it is ancient. and had been preserved. We hope.. I am signed up and have asked a question.. about health .. it is pretty general, and I don't know if my question will be picked.. But sure would be fun
    join us if you want.. the info is on the site and the link is on my diary
    as to the other.. yes I guess fashionably ill is the way to be.. I don't want it.. I want wholeness and health above all else.. balance and some peace!
    Oh yeah..

    enjoy weekend.

    And yet another reason why I hate Gatsby.

    He's not all that great.
