White/Black ... claiming people and places as our own.

I find it hard to get into some TV series. This one is dark as Black/White are identical twins with an uncanny connection: what one goes through the other feels. When Black is beaten up White takes his place... and therein lies a story. But it's dark... almost film noir at times and that's hard for me if my nerves are already trashed...like they are at the moment.



Yes, we claim places (and sometimes people) as our own. Me? I'm being erased as I live. I'm not who I was when I was young and with very little left to anchor me with the past I'm just floating with no sense of where I am or where to go.

The Bench  (E) the seasons of life #2143809 by Quilli ☕

Quilli ☕ is using the bench as a metaphor for how we leave something to prove that we are here, and even when separated at the end something remains. It works as a metaphor. At times, I wish it were my reality.

Juxtaposed these two unrelated pieces of art make me ponder how much we don't choose like the connections between Black&White and those we do as we carve our initials into those we love.

         Scrawl you name across my chest.
         I'll wear the bruise with honor.

The above is in response to today's prompt from "Space Blog" 

Sum1's In Sacramento made everyone laugh with this post: "Y'know, it's perfectly okay to talk to yourself, and it's perfectly okay to answer yourself. But it's really sad that you have to repeat what you said because you weren't listening."

I don't have a great sense of humor. I'm silly not funny. And that's okay as it disarms people. Took a long time to realize that some folks were laughing with me not at me.

I responded to L.A. Grawitch re where to put singing: "Instagram, YouTube? I dunno. I want to write some stories placed in Thailand... maybe a screen play... complete with music in Thai/Lao. I've even sang some to myself (melody/images rather than words). My voice left me long ago but that shouldn't stop me from singing."
