"When you say nothing at all..."

"The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all"

~When You Say Nothing at All- Overstreet and Schlitz

I have little to say today. I haven't blogged in awhile. No dazzling new ideas for you.
I am typing this one-handed. Choco is sitting in the other. I think she might be dying. She is so cold and skinny. She is very very ill. She is 2 years and 5 months old. That is a long time for a mouse to live. She is in pain. I can't help her. I don't want her to be in pain any more, but I don't want her to leave me. I wish she could get better and live forever and ever and be happily ever after. But it isn't going to happen. Why is the fact that there are no happily ever afters so hard to accept? It is foolish even to hope.
I am going to go and see if Choc will eat or drink anything. I don't know when I'll blog again.

"A piece of a dream-world..."

"Love is an attempt to change a piece
of a dream-world into reality."

-Henry David Thoreau
Some people have a gossamer web of logic to put over the big black box of life. Others have just enough white paint to make the smallest, most beautiful picture on an unseen part of the box. The rest? They're not artists and cannot weave. Those people sit and wish, wish for the box to be white. Until they fall for another, one who teaches them to paint or to weave. And in return, the wisher teaches them to dream.

"In the sky..."

"In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true."

-Bhudda
MEDCs... LEDCs... More Economically Developed Countries... Less Economically developed countries... More or less than what? There is no average anymore. We don't even count those countries like China, who are on the verge of becoming MEDCs as AEDCs. Average Economically Developed Country is not even a term in human knowledge. We still call the AEDCs LEDCs because we refuse to admit that other places may be as good as us. Humans have to turn everything into a case of Us and Them. Why can't there be a middle? Why can't it just be Everyone, with a few common thoughts not shared by all?

If you look inside yourself too much, you don't see what's happening with others and can't protect yourself. If you look outside yourself too much, you forget yourself and can't keep control of your actions. Some people don't even look. I have seen all of those. Balance is best. But balance is like standing barefoot on a needle. Sometimes I'm so down-to-Earth, I can't even see the sky.
