Be kind

Britney J Spears

I want to say something, but the words seem to be off marinating some future post. So it appears that all I am left with is the desire to write something.

As the pain in my jaw ebb's I have become aware that for some people the pain of this life goes on. I'm sure, unless you've been living in a cave for the last week, you would see what Britney Spears has been going through of late. Dooce has written a lovely post, and frankly it's a breath of fresh air to see some support, rather than jumping on the bandwagon of ridicule - only to jump off when things take a tragic turn; Cue Anna Nicole Smith.

As Harold took a bite of Barvarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves, in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank god for Barvarian Sugar Cookies. And fortunately when there aren't any cookies we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind or loving gesture, or a subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort.........and we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies and subtleties which we assume only accessorize our days are in fact here for a much larger, and nobler cause: they are here to save our lives.
