Goooood morning! Today's outfit (after way too much trying-on-and-offs): turquoise skirt, purple tank top, layered with green tank top. SUMMER MEANS COLORS! yay! and...thanks to the fact that i cannot allow a bottle of nailpolish to sit on the table without painting at least one (but probably only one) nail, i have one peeling pink thumbnail, and one peeling black nail. grrross. and some recipe conversion math all over my hand, in blue pen. :) i am, in short, not elegant.
this is post number 100, by the way. Milestone! (at least, looking at the comments page that's what i thought, but adding up the math for all the archives, i could have that wrong. oh, poo. it's close either way :)
Two quick poems, one about how i need to quit worrying so much about money, and be generous/just not anxious. one about pain which, i am realizing, ends on a pretty negative-hopeless note, which isn't ultimately what i think, although when you're going through something awful, it often seems hopeless. i'm not going through anything Terrible right now, but there are always little stings (like feeling left out at work), and always people you care for who are in pain :(
If I were given money
Ev'ry time it worried me,
I'd be the richest girl alive,
I'd rule the land and sea!
A nickle for neurosis
And a dime for discontent,
A penny for my lack of faith,
A dollar (heaven-sent?)--
The drabbest birds are cared for,
And the lovely lilies, too,
Oh, may I learn to look at them
And rest my heart in You.
Pain stands on the outskirts
In a sieging kind of stance,
Content to wait to waste us
Until we rise up and dance--
At which point, bold Pain steals away
Sweet, self-abandoment,
Turns free men into crippled slaves,
Our songs into lament.
