The leaf is quite pretty, but the owl-eyed ring is stunning. I strikes me like a distillation of Athena– wise and calm, yet also aggressive and taking no prisoners when the times called for it. Like any truly beautiful thing, a bit daunting to behold and consider.

No small talent in evidence here.

Jenn-

I heard Carrie Fisher on Leonard Lopate this afternoon. She has bi-polar, among other things and she is hysterical! You should have heard her talking about it. If you can, see if you can podcast it. Not to be missed: the story of a woman struggling with mental illness and finding humor–sound familiar? Her new book is called “Wishful Drinking.” I think it’s a must-read for me and you too.

At the end of the day, what other people think only matters as much as you want it to.

Dare ya to make a nipple ring in your next class.

Now I am thinking about “is that so?” everyday. It is quite calming. Thank you for both stories.

Just wanted to say that I’ve been reading and pulling for you and that your writing has managed to make *my* days a little bit brighter. Please keep at it. It makes a difference to some of us.

That’s so beautiful. My grandfather dealt with the Polar Bear Disease, too, but I never had the depth of insight to what he dealt with until you came along. Thank you. We don’t know each other and likely never will, but know there are people out here thinking of you and your lovely girls and admiring your courage.

Anon, I honestly didn’t think of you when I was reading about the people who don’t understand. We all jumped on you that other time because it seemed like you were being judgemental. But, through all your posts, you do seem to care. And, you seem to have been through some hard time, as well. I don’t think any of us would group you into that category of losers.

Jenn, whoever thinks you’re not really sick or that you will “always have something”- they are losers!!!! They don’t deserve to know you. When you get better, you’ll still remember how they treated you. If you “wanted to be sick” why would you be going through all these meds and the hospital for goodness sake. You wouldn’t try to get better, would you? Well, you are trying harder than any of us can imagine, and you can be proud of that!
