caramelsilverI'm feeling so much better today. It really helped to just get the rage off my chest and getting support back. Now I'm much more able to think clearly. I don't think I have to make any changes at all. I have faith in my participants!
SO HAPPY THINGS:
- I made poetry today in class. We had to pick a picture in our text-book that caught our eye, and then write a poem with only three lines. I chose this one:
"Farewell"- by Edward Cucuel
And it inspired these two poems:
The smoke from the cigarette is the only thing that moves
His eyes are sad, and her face is wet
The ring stays on the table when she leaves.
She's putting on her gloves, and he's stubbing out his cigarette
The champagne is only half drunk, but the conversation is over
The ring stays in his pocket.
I love this format. Only three lines to tell a story! Can you write a poem using this format, using the painting as your inspiration? I'd love to see more. It's such a gorgeous painting.
And then, proof that Inception has taken over my brain:
So I've been thinking, if I needed a totem, what would it be? I thought about all the pretty knick-knacks I own, and the answer was obvious all along.
You see, a couple of years ago, when I was still sick, I bought this angel stone - an angel figurine inside a oval plastic stone.- and the box said it would protect me. Now I'm not much of a believer in magical things, but every time I hold that stone I feel safe and grounded. So obviously that would be my totem.
Last night, I went to bed thinking that I should take it out, since I'd stored it in a box. I wake up, had forgotten all about it, went to school, and when I came home... I found it sitting on my bedside table. I did not put it there!
I was going to do some meta thoughts too, but I'm saving that for the weekend. I'm watching the film again tomorrow, and I can't wait!
<--- See new awesome icon! It makes me happy!
