He didn’t know why he kept them. The roses faded and dry, and the bottle contents surely spoiled by now, but he couldn’t throw them away. Seeing them on her bureau every night was both a lovely reminder and a searing pain of guilt. He missed her so much and the regrets sometimes overwhelmed him. The tears of remorse he shed were no consolation. He bent to sniff the roses once more, opened the perfume and the memories washed over him, again.

NPR Tiny Desk Concerts are inside looks at performers and this one is especially fun. I can’t decide if I like the second or third song best. What do you think? I hope you enjoy it.

Sitting in the doorway, mother by her side

Evicted by authority

Now they have no place to hide

Small dirty belongings surround them

All that they could grab

Before forcibly removed from what they used to have

This is her future and her past

No childhood dreams of a ballet dance

She’s nine years old and she never had a chance.

Waking to blue light from the desktop

I turn over and settle in lapis cotton softness

See the turquoise blue of your eyes—how amazing

We snuggle together until sunlight insists we rise

For a morning walk under the bluebird hued sky umbrella above.

Identity is shown at first in your appearance. Your expression, your clothes, all an attitude you put forth in greeting someone new. What they see is how they interpret what you think. Like it or not, until they hear what you think, your appearance is what they go on.

A comedian I’ve shared here before has some thoughts on the subject of airport dress. In “days of old” (you might think) if you were traveling, you wore a dress, a suit, or at the very least, a pressed fabric. This comedian suggests people wear pajamas now, and I admit, I see pajamas everywhere today.

Don’t get me wrong. Since I’m in a wheelchair I never wear dresses, it’s too much fabric to get caught in the wheels. I dress comfortably but no pajamas or sweats in public. I like to see other people dressed well and no, I don’t like seeing wrinkled outfits or stained or dirty clothing. And cover your butts ladies, I don’t care to see your private parts on display. Wear what you want at home, but show your dignity in public, please.

A vision of the future seen here with a twist from Ancient Greece illustrated by the sway of the fabric as it lustfully clings to the bodies of the catwalk parade. Even in stiletto heels they maintain, attended by the rhathymia of the crowd, who wish they too could be as modelesque as the vision perceived. The stick figured forms never slump and have no smiles–even a hint of one is wiped from their eyes in black pencil.

If you want to sit back, enjoy a delightful legendary story played by two of the most beautiful actors ever, watch “The Mask of Zorro” starting Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Heroes, villains, action, beauty and more.

Oh for the days of youth

The days of freedom to explore

Crawling around on grass

Could there be anything more

Inviting than a strange object

We might see that it is a stick

After close inspection I must give it a lick

Hmmm, not too bad but I was expecting more

Away with it, I say. I’m off again to explore more.

Sorry about quality of video. Morning soccer practice.
