drawer
On rare occasions, such as this, I pull out my drawer, similar to that of the Darlings and begin to finger the old treasures.
Most lay tarnished, if they were ever shiny. Or frayed if they were ever strong. Some still glitter but only if not inspected too closely.
They were saved and put away with much faith. Told lovingly that they would see sunshine again when it was time. Oddly enough, I usually only take them out late at night. Or on a lonely, gray day. No sunshine to speak of.
I've often tried to clean out the drawer but some memories and hopes are too hard to part with. Throwing them out would be giving up on so much. Eternal hope can be a curse though.
When is enough, enough?
When are we supposed to stop hoping and except that what we have may never change into what we thought?

you should always...
Ask her for her opinion about anything and everything.
Bring her flowers of any kind every chance you get.
Leave/send her notes.
Plan things for her to look forward to.
Consistently be learning, listening and watching.
She knows. She knows a lot.

books & life
I'm sitting in the library reading Reading Lolita in Tehran and thinking how hard it was to live in Iraq and Iran when I overhear his voice.
An 18-year-old gang banger is talking with a stranger about all of the shootings he's seen and the people he would kill. Discussing Bloods, Crypts, and Nazis that are in town.
I guess every place has its bad side. I don't have to imagine people on the other side of the world to feel compassion for the oppressed and disgust for the oppressors.

cash flow
I've put aside pursuits because if money.
Gone to work everyday for money.
Planned what to wear, what to eat, what to do and where to live based upon money.
What would I do if money were no longer an issue? What yardstick would I use to measure out my actions? More importantly, what possibilities would reopen for a mind no longer chained by a money clip?
