Breathtaking Beauty π₯°ππ€©πππ©·π§‘ππππππ
I learned from my mother how to love
the living, to have plenty of vases on hand
in case you have to rush to the hospital
with peonies cut from the lawn, black ants
still stuck to the buds. I learned to save jars
large enough to hold fruit salad for a whole
grieving household, to cube home-canned pears and peaches, to slice through maroon grape skins, and flick out the sexual seeds with a knife point.
I learned to attend viewings even if I didnβt know the deceased, to press the moist hands of the living, to look in their eyes and offer sympathy, as though I understood loss even then.
I learned that whatever we say means nothing, what anyone will remember is that we came. I learned to believe I had the power to ease awful pains materially like an angel.
Like a doctor, I learned to create from anotherβs suffering my own usefulness, and once you know how to do this, you can never refuse.
To every house you enter, you must offer healing: a chocolate cake you baked yourself, the blessing of your voice, your chaste touch.
A BODY BUILT FOR SIN
BEWARE OF "ONE DAY"
1. ONE DAY you will lock your door, but you will not be the one to open it.
2. ONE DAY you will wash those best clothes of yours and you will not be able to wear it.
3. ONE DAY your favourite food will be prepared, and you will not be there to eat it anymore.
4. ONE DAY you will eat and drink what you will never excrete.
5. ONE DAY your curriculum vitae and all your years of experience will not matter to anyone anymore.
6. ONE DAY the person who seems to love you most will never dare to move closer to you.
7. ONE DAY you will think of what you can never accomplish.
8. ONE DAY you will be regarded as "a corpse"
9. ONE DAY you will be isolated in a place called "grave"
10. ONE DAY those things and people you love most will come your way, but you will not be able to give any attention to it/them.
11. ONE DAY you will hold your breath and never be able to release it.
12. ONE DAY you will become a defendant before The Chief Judge (GOD).
13. ONE DAY housefly/ termites will come your way, and you will be unable to chase them.
14. ONE DAY you will receive a call that you can never decline.
15. ONE DAY your name will be called, but no one will answer.
16. ONE DAY the assets you cherished most will be taken by another person.
17. ONE DAY your deed on Earth will be presented to you like a CD.
18. ONE DAY a title will be added to your name "The Late"
19. ONE DAY the Great Allocator will allocate you to an appropriate place.
20. ONE DAY that your beautiful skin will turn to its original nature-sand/dust.
21. ONE DAY your entire body will cease operation. The verb will change from he is a good man to he was a good man.
22. ONE DAY you will be given an eternal apartment, either Paradise or hell.
23. ONE DAY you will not be able to hold or type anything on this phone anymore.
Take LIFE easy, DO GOOD, and run from EVIL. Be at peace with everyone, and love your neighbour as yourself.
May God Almighty have Marcy on us ππ
As long as I see you, touch you, smell you, kiss you, My day automatically gets 10 times better Your presence is like a ray of sunshine Warming my heart and soul with love
Every smile from your lips Brightens the darkest corners of my mind Every word spoken by you Feels like a melody soothing my soul
I feel complete when I'm with you Like two puzzle pieces fitting perfectly together Your essence lingers in the air around me A sweet fragrance that intoxicates my senses
And when our lips meet in a tender kiss It's like fireworks exploding in the sky An electrifying spark that ignites passion within me Turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories
You are my sunshine on a rainy day My anchor in a stormy sea of life With you by my side, I am invincible As long as I have you, my day automatically gets 10 times better.
