Pictures on the Wall

I have these beautiful pictures to hang, but I can't bring myself to put the hammer to the wall. Where is a big strong man when I need one?

How unfeminist of me.

I Will, I Will, I Will, I Will Not

I will paint tomorrow.

I will tunnel my frustrations into something productive.

I will make something beautiful out of the mess in my head.

I will NOT eat my feelings.

Dante

Love and the gracious heart are but one thing,
as the wise poet puts in his poem;
as much can one without the other be
as without reason can the reasoning mind.
Nature creates them when in a loving mood,
Love to be king, the heart to be his home,
a place where Love inactive lies in wait
sometimes a longer, now a shorter time.
A worthy lady's beauty next is viewed
with pleasure by the eyes, and in the heart
desire for the pleasing thing is born,
and for awhile this beauty lingers there
until Love's spirit is aroused from sleep.
A man of worth with ladies does the same.

Translated by Mark Musa

Tears for Beers

I hate clear narratives. They leave so little up to the imagination. Emotional appeal, no thank you. I like intellectual stimulation from thought provoking text and images. I do not enjoy perfectly wrapped up narratives that provoke a cathartic experience.
