Ta Ta for Now

, , ,

I've had a great week drifting around OperaLand and meeting new Friendly People. I'm leaving the big city (Louisville~Ky) for home and the rural southern Indiana life for a bit. One of my sisters has some special needs and is going to camp for the first time. She isn't ready to go alone, so I'm going as a Big Sister and Big Kid but Cleverly Disguised as a Responible Adult Camp Counselor so that we can have this experience together.

I'm entirely certain that pictures will be taken, poems will be written, and :jester: funny things will happen to be recounted and posted among the unruly games played :raider:, popsicle stick crafts made, and campfires burned along the way.

Don't cause too much trouble while I'm gone :wink:

Truth vs Family

, , , ...



Dichotomy
Strangely early for my loud family house
to be quiet.
Always someone up with the TV too loud and carrying
down the hall.
Lights flipped for random but continuous trips
to bathroom, kitchen, closet, car, laundry, trash,
looking for stuff.
Summer tired siblings fast asleep,
one holdout tries to wrestle the best words into
the best order.

Why quiet beds, and such early stillness?
I have an answer that I can't say.
I know why Dad depressed hushed
everyone to bed so early,
but I can't say.
and I write
and I wonder
What is more important, the truth, or an intact
silent family?

Summer 2

, , ,


I don't know master Timm very well for myself, I've only become aquainted with his writings as we frequent the same blogs like our dear Loku and Alan and others, but I'm so impressed with his willingness to try and learn and fail and try again especially as I said earlier in his post about summer break before college.
I decided to try to think of what I wanted to learn or do this summer. I want to be a little more reliable, be more there even when in weakness or depression its hard. But as for skills, I'm studying Greek on my own in preparation for when I take it as a class this fall if that counts as a skill. I went to music festival a few weekends ago and was very inspired and I want to spend more time playing my guitar and learning enough so that I might be able to write my own songs to sing. I love to sing and I love to write so we'll see what happens there. I do also want to spend some time re-personalizing my blog appearance again. I liked it before but it got all jabberwockied when the templets on opera were updated.
I've been sitting with my Grandma in the hospital for some of this span of time that I didnt' post. She had heart failure and also Alzheimers and she couldn't stay there alone. She didn't understand what was happening. I don't know if it helped having someone there but now she's back home again and things are back to relative normal.
I have some great pictures of the Kentucky sky and of penguin 's from the ST Louis Zoo to post if I ever get my camera, cable, and computer in the same place!
