Discovery

Standing, looking out on the world which lies before you.

Do you ever wonder...

....If the thing you dislike makes you who you are?

Or if the thing you like actually hinders you from becoming a more aware person?

Makes you reconsider good and bad.

Shhh!

I highly recommend checking out Post Secret if you haven't yet this week.

You have a lot of freckles.

But I like you anyway. :)

November

"You are sixteen going on seventeen. 

Baby, it's time to think. 

Better beware, be canny and careful, 

Baby, you're on the brink. 

You are sixteen going on seventeen, 

Fellows will fall in line. 

Eager young lads and rogues and cads, 

Will offer you food and wine."

11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6...

I like pretending not to procrastinate. 

I like dreaming of the future.

I like red doors and special trees.

Looking forward to later this evening, when it will be:

"How to Make God Laugh"

Cigarette butts, styrofoam shreds,

 glass shards, plastic spoons, used condoms,

 human waste, plastic wrappers, torn paper, 

empty bottles, fast food trash, 

plastic bags, and hypodermic needles.

Trashy and trashed.

But now I'm hopeful.

There was one man I saw on the street, who motioned me over and told me he had some more trash. He looked disheveled. His clothes were old and worn. He called me "pretty lady." I took the trash and said, "Thank you."

We cleaned (some of) it up. We served. I'm so glad I went. I knew it was the right thing to do, again and again.

We saw other people on the street, too. There was another man, who was younger and thin. 

"Want to hear a joke?" he said too loudly. 

"Sure," we said. 

"How do you make God laugh?" He was missing several teeth, I think. We looked at each other and smiled and we didn't know.

"Tell him what your plans are for tomorrow."
