New Roses:
Walking through Chavez Square yesterday, I noticed new roses on the vine! They're dark and beautiful, and blooming any day. Year-round roses here? Guess so. Life is so full of wonderment and renewal!
(thanks, Jesus, for duckies!)
Life in Black and White:
Few people have the luxury to live this way. Namely children and the unbroken, the naive, the innocent. My folks are wonderful people, but they have purposely chosen a life of naivete' so as to remain as pure as humanly possible. But they have a great deal of compassion for those of us who, by choice or by force, have ended up "in the world".
As a little kid, I thought my folks were simps. In other words... I thought they didn't know any better... that they were too inept to realize that there was a whole cool world out there. Now I've gone off on this grand adventure (yeah, right), I've seen a lot of the world. Family and friends have this image of "Dorothy" that is irrepressable, successful, and apparently I'm the town darling. And yet I'm still lonely here, I'm still confused about the future. Making the conscious decision to not be an "innocent" one was a lot more criticle than I ever knew. But it wasn't light -- I've always known that my life would be different.
Honestly, for those of you who identify with me: now that you know better and are trying to be better in life... don't you feel like since you made the bad choices and were put in unfornuate circumstances... don't you feel like it's now your job to help others get out of that place? Cause I sure do. And also, God loves each and every one of us. He has never betrayed us as we do Him.
Lil' Kim is an adult who lives in black and white. She harshly judges those who do not stand up to her morals. I used to do that. Now I understand. But she's an "innocent" and probably always will be. She is precious in every light and has the sweetest heart ever.
... just wish she'd give up the death-grip on everyone doing everything the "right" way.
Peace for the New Year.

I find we can tend to fit people in images. That is, we think someone has it all together, or that their life is great with no problems, or that they are successful so they must be that way in all aspects of their life. But, little do we know that they get lonely too or things just might not be as all together as we think. I don't think we should be doing this, but how do we stop? We just assume everything is ok, but we shouldn't make assumptions.
Wow, roses blooming in December...unheard of here in the snow. I think it would be beautiful so have roses this time of year (course I think it would be beautiful to have roses anytime of the year lol).
God bless!
I love you Pumpkin Boo. You are right on.
