Howdy Howdy all! Now I know you were all looking for vacation entry 3 but that has been put on hold for a St. Patricks Day Salute. so without further ado.....HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY! I will not be going out for a drink but will instead will tie one on at home with the roomies and the bestest bud the Cocoa Goddes. I hope you all are having a great day and please keep ChitownFreak25 in your thoughts and prayers. I cant begin to know what she must have gone through but I do know that feeling alone is no small thing. Please reach out to someone, anyone if you feel like you are sinking. We are a bit of a family here on Mindsay and we should help one another when we can. How about some poetry...here goes....
This poem is by one of my absolute favorite writers, His post-modernist writings are so compelling that they speak to a whole other self. This poem was originally written in German and later translated.
Neither
to and fro in shadow from inner to outer shadow
from impenetrable self to impenetrable unself
by way of neither
as between two lit refuges whose doors once
neared gently close, once away turned from
gently part again
beckoned back and forth and turned away
heedless of the way, intent on the one gleam
or the other
unheard footfalls only sound
till at last halt for good, absent for good
from self and other
then no sound
then gently light unfading on that unheeded
neither
unspeakable home--Samuel Beckett
Goddess Bless
