I bought my feminine side some flowers but, what she really wanted was a bag to match her vermillion shoes she's always been that way perfecting unreasonability while maintaining that shy, quiet, "am I asking for too much?" smile and all I can do is sigh and give in all too easily she's the one who orders blind off the menu when all I'd really rather have is a burger she's the one who reminds me that the symphony is at 2:00 when the hockey game's at 3:00 she's the one who knows that vermillion isn't red and that amethyst will never be purple but, like any Spirit of Eve, she bleeds and I have to tuck her away for awhile comforting her, and letting her know she's understood (she needs that reassurance in the weak moments) until she's ready to come out again hair flowing in the wind dancing to her own inner music she is a celebration and she reminds me that I am not only myself but that I am her as well she reminds me that beauty is everywhere and that emotions are not to be ignored but embraced and accepted as part of life she reminds me that a kind word will always do more than a million diamonds and that I'll never be on time because she is always (perpetually, I think) late so, I bought my feminine side a vermillion bag she smiled softly and said, "now all I need is a belt. . . " --------------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Sveetie...GOT PICS?  This was different. I enjoyed, but must confess that I am scratching my head over the vermillion bag. (Does this font make me look fat?)  Hugs, Sven. |

"she's the one who knows that vermillion isn't red and that amethyst will never be purple"   (smiles) Oh Sven, this is wonderful, you describe your feminine side soooooo wonderfully, I believe we all should get in touch with our feminine side for that is where true beauty and enchantment lies! (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet John, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

but, like any Spirit of Eve, she bleeds and I have to tuck her away for awhile comforting her, and letting her know she's understood (she needs that reassurance in the weak moments) until she's ready to come out again hair flowing in the wind dancing to her own inner music she is a celebration and she reminds me that I am not only myself but that I am her as well she reminds me that beauty is everywhere and that emotions are not to be ignored ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You got it..... this is it Beautiful lines.. and yes she needs new shoes too LOL ~~ Connie ~~ |

perfecting unreasonability while maintaining that shy, quiet, "am I asking for too much?" smile and that I'll never be on time because she is always (perpetually, I think) late John, i wonder why nobody else noticed the conspiracy...aren't you attributing your flaws to women and declaring that these flaws have nothing to do with you?  heehee..i just got to be cheeky...this musing did make me ponder for a while--"just how many social selves do i have?" |
