now. THIS one i like. this evokes a thought of the dual personality. the inner person, looking out through the public person. naked. half the face blacked out. but looking out anyway. vulnerable. but hiding.
i think you are growing. growing well.

ok... the very first thing that I saw in this was... well... *shrugs* It's rather "vaginal".
To me (and my twisted brain) it suggests either wanting to find yourself within a woman, or having already done so.
From this I came, to this I will return. In this, I see my true self.

I thought you were seeing yourself reflected in the eye of your cat. I do that sometimes, though I could never capture it the way you have. Bravo, Andrew. You keep surprising me.

A little like all of us, huh?
Sometimes I like to just sit quietly and pour over what other people think when they spend a little time with the things they find here. Sometimes their words echo my own thoughts, but most of the time they're rich with ideas that I'd never have come to on my own. Yours are some of my favorite.

When I was a little girl, my mother would tell stories about the dog she raised from a puppy and loved for 16 years until the black lab mix named Mony finally died of old age. I can remember most of the tales as though they'd happened to me... the image of the wee charcoal puppy snuggling up in my mother's laundry basket – buried amidst her dirty clothes in order to wait, surrounded by my mother's scent, until she got home from school... only to become a full sized dog who grew in size, but that never quite outgrew the desperate, futile desire to have my mother near.
My favorite part of the story was always the bit when my mother would come home, and have to go immediately to the closet, kneel down, and take Mony’s head into to her hands as if to say “it’s ok… I’m home now.” My mother often said that no one before or since ever loved her quite the way that dog did.
Growing up, I too had pets. Dogs and cats and even a few less fury options. I’ve loved them all and I’m sure they loved me… but none quite the way Mony loved my mother.
All my life, I’ve wondered what Mony’s eyes looked like when they stared up at my mother – what a person looks like when reflected in the eye of a creature that loves them completely. Thank you for showing me.

I sit and listen to you because you either teach me, or make complete sense to me... or both.
I think your twisted brain sees quite beautiful things.

The cat and I don't get on all that well. The dog, however, is terribly good to me.
Thank you, L.

As always, jennifer, your stories are such sad and beautiful things.
Thank you for leaving one here for me.
