Are You Pretty in Pink?

She knows she is pretty, and dances from flower to flower, never stopping to wave goodbye. They whirl around each other, spiraling into the sky. She never has to worry if beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, for it is quite enough to be a butterfly. Strikingly beautiful.

How could I deny you
The first chance of the season
To make it all right, once again
Long after this post is gone.

When you find yourself cocooned in isolation and you cannot find your way out of darkness, remember, this is similar to the place where caterpillars go to grow their wings - Necole Stephens

I watched “Pretty in Pink” again last night. For like, the gazillionth time. In the movie, there are people who struggle with the labels they have been given/taken on for themselves. They fight with their own sense of honor and shame around wealth and poverty or about being alternative or "richies." Every little thing makes a difference. It matters where you live. It matters which door you walk out of at school. It seems so absurd on the surface, but if people are honest, these expectations, these barometers of honor and shame are real. In real life anyway. Like the movie, but different, right? There is a genius karaoke rendition of "Tenderness" by Otis Redding, offering another path and it shows how each character attempts to take that path in the end. Each tries a little compassion. It was a little bit fun extracting the message of the film. It's a reinterpretation of sorts.


Oh, yes. Anyone can be pretty in pink.

Where is the love?
Buried alive, deep inside my heart?
Where dreams live that I haven’t dreamt, and when I do, I shall never forget.

Not quite yet, she objects
Not quite yet

All I have are my words, armed in my mind, written in pen, stand by stand. Oh, yes. Still by hand. It has a different feel. Altered not by keys, backspace, and delete, I write, erase, tear it to pieces and start all over again. And again.

It’s my way. I walk out to the deep end of the page and dive right in.

The Naming of Cats

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.

I have a photograph of me...It shall not see the light of day, certainly not on the blockchain, but it punctuates your point.

[Not my finest moment, but it was a lot of fun...Mostly at my expense. 😆]

Oh, I would pay good money to see that. I am sure most people would. Well, you have just planted a seed and I am sure the thought will grow over time! LOL I am sure that you are pretty in pink. :))

Thank you so much for the kind words you always leave me. Good morning to you!

As many have!

I'm not afraid of pink, it's just a colour and doesn't indicate anything at all about me should I wear it, which I don't often.

The item referred to in my previous comment...Well, it was more what it was than the colour to be honest, although it was pink. It shall remain a blockchain mystery. :)

Have a good evening, and you're welcome for the kind words. I prefer to give them as the alternative isn't so nice.

Really? How cool! Pink is always a favorite with people, so soft and lovely, it begs to be loved.

Where do you get the words, my dearest?

Which ones are you talking about? The poetry was cited and those that are not are mine. Any in particular? You are always so sweet and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Love you too!

I dont think I have seen that movie. However I may well have. The upside of being forgetful is no matter which movie is on, even an overly played out one, it is usually new to me lol.

I know I have many dreams, many that I wish to realize. Would it be possible to get merely another 100 years or so, I believe I could experience many of them. Life goes by so fast.

I don't think you have. We talked about it once and you said you would try to watch it. It's been busy, you know. COVID and all that you had to do then. :)

I have been trying to buy time all over the blockchain, so if you find some, could you let me know?
