Nose (Photo)


Who am I?

The sum of my genetics and experience and biological development.

The resonances of souls touched or sensed.

Memories of contacts and lessons, memories of future backwashing around.

The anxieties of this society, in this moment, and the individuals within.

My inherent personality, humor, capacity for insight, intelligence, love, imagination.

This breath in, out, in.

Long time lurker, first time commenting.

You have such a way with words. This post in particular. Beautiful.

Only now read your previous posts, about the D.I.V.O.R.C.E. Such heart-wrenching emotions, so sparingly, modestly expressed. As if in song. Beauty constructed from sharp,painful shards of glass.

In this photo, don't you look a bit like Nana Mouskouri?

Never did mention that I loved this one; have come back in time to tell you so.
