Forget what I said about being blonde. My hair was so dark already, it didn't relaly change the color at ALL. I suppose I'll just have it professionally done next time. Blah.
Hi. I've now completed the third part of my “Super Glue for the Broken Hearted” trilogy so here it is and I hope you can take something from it! Parts 1 and 2 (“She Breathes” and “She Frees”) are on my blog and if I've known you a while they may be on your comments page from last year too.
Many thanks for the friendship and support and have a great day! ~ Si =)
HE BLEEDS
Love is like no-one else you ever met. His face obscured like a diamond of light behind white shadows. You laugh and sob in his presence, unable to comprehend his majestic beauty. He takes your hand and leads you through worlds of immeasurable splendour, devastating loss, ravishing beauty and unspeakable pain. When darkness surrounds, you lose all sight of him and scream out in terror like a child rejected by it's parent. But in time you realise that he has let go of your hand because he now carries you in his arms.
He stands in the gap between you and everything that would harm you. He negotiates for you, he fights on your behalf. He absorbs all pain, darkness, heartache, fear, loss, grief, sadness, evil, torture and death.
He roars like a lion and bleats like a lamb. He lives in serenity, creates courage and is the foundation of all wisdom.
He is the starving child in Africa, the destroyed family of Iraq. He is the bedraggled alcoholic on the street corner. He is the married executive on his way to the whore house. The terrified mother with a dying child. He is the baby killed at the hands of those who should have protected him and also the parents who did that.
He is black, white, light and dark. He stands outside of time and towers over everything else the universe has ever known.
But in all strength, he is weak and utterly defenceless. He steps in front of you. He cries.
He reaches out his arms, and enveloping your soul into his heart, He drops his head and he dies.
Sarun, LVS is looking for teachers with your credentials to teach dual-enrollment courses. They pay $5000 for a one semester (16-week)course. During these holidays I've been reading Gardens in the Dunes by Leslie Marmon Silko. After reading much of Dostoyevsky, I'm now thinking about starting Tolstoy. Have you read Tolstoy?
