| My thorn

|
2023-05-12
How these thorns remind me of those prickled seed pods in the grass that accompany us home after playing outdoors, or even just walking through the field. As for rose thorns, their 'bark' and their 'bite' are both quite equal in their vestigial nature and their capacity to leave their mark on the unwitting. A pleasure to read and engage with.

Very striking as I have had the privilege to live in that culture. Perhaps I will try to find this famed Kobe beef as I haven't yet consciously hunted one down for a meal. We've had wagyu which I suppose is another famed beef variety of these islands.

To not know why is both a curse and a blessing. Not for want of feeling but perhaps of motive, words are a balm or when weaponised hold sway or power over others. As social beings our choices affect all. Thanks for sharing.

|

2023-05-04
A poet dying, celebrated or hidden, diminishes our soul and hopefully elevates our appreciation of what we had and what is yet to be. And in the early morning rain we tend to bundle up and find comfort in many simple ways.

So true, there was this duct-taped banana on social media put up as installation art which they appraised to be worth $120,000 and the man that bought it ate the banana without regrets! It's art for arts sake and for his case a media worthy snack.

Good friends are hard to find and often in my failings have found that they often reflect back what my own inconstancy had hurt them. In like manner it is quite an eye for an eye. To be in each other's comfort is indeed a gift sublime.

On that last question; yeah, it's way easier to get that connection with our pets but it's not unheard of between humans, what for the innumerable complications and stuff we factor in. Perhaps if we lived life simpler and less conspiratorially the best in us could and will shine through for its simple face value. Our pets have no ulterior motives but to be. So should we.
