The Invisible Boy.

He walks, invisible. They move around him as if he is not there, because, for them, he is not.

No one acknowledges his presence, nobody stops to say "Hello" or even nod.

My. Heart. Breaks.

How can they not see the brilliance of his smile?

How is the warmth of his heart ignored?  How can they be so cruel in their dismissal? They are teenagers, that is how. Even those who have grown up with him now move aside as he passes.  Alone.

One friend, just one. It is all it takes.

Has nobody learnt that loneliness can kill?

Hello?

Hello?

Please... anybody? Somebody? Help him. Save him.

And They Drop Like Flies

Lordy Miss Claudie, I ask about upping my followers, and woo-whooo, I lose three followers... Wow, can you at least a drop a line to let me know if I piss you off? Pleeeeze? Just cause I iz a curious soul. Okay?

DAMMIT!

I am seriously going to cry or quit if I don't get some comments.

SOON! No - make that NOW!

And am away paying through the nose for wireless to post this... *sob*

Can't even post pictures. :-(

December 8: Moment of Peace #best09

 An hour or a day or a week of solitude. What was the quality of your breath? The state of your mind? How did you get there?

Gwen Bell Best of 2009 Challenge

This used to be me. Long, peaceful baths, candles, glass of wine, soft music and usually a good book to lull me into that satiated state of blissful nothingness. 

I dreamt about being like this:

You know, similar to Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. Regal, calm, poised. It was not to be, or more to the point, I could never be. And as you may have gathered my life has turned more into this:

Not quite the same as this:

My last moment or period of serenity?

It was very early one morning, I awoke at sunrise. Walked onto our front deck and took this:

Breathed in the crisp autumn air, gazed around me at our beautiful mountain, listened to the morning birds calling, and thought to myself:

"I must do this more often. I am so lucky to have this, and I don't stop enough to enjoy."

Have I done it since. Ah, that would be a no.

Talking to Myself

HELLO? Anybody out there? The numbers tell me you are watching but the lack of comments makes me feel very alone in here.


Hello? Hello? Somebody? Anybody?
