Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for July 13, 2017

Talk about a tear-jerker.

This is almost sadder than an unloved bunny.

I have no words.

I haven’t heard it in the 17 years since my parents left this plane of experience.

I love you all. Not equally, but sincerely.

Uh-oh, somebody is channeling Eleanor Rigby!

Hit the ground…

With both feet running.

I love my privacy..

The bellowing from the tar pits was not continuous, but rather incessant in bursts. It was the water, you see. The water would draw one in, and then the entanglement would prevent one from exiting again. And the water was not even particularly potable. It was all quite gruesome, actually.

If your love goes around, love will come around. I feel like shooting Beaver Cleaver!

Saying that to oneself can be the most difficult of all.

You might be caught in Catch-22 my dear, because the thing that increases your chances of hearing it is saying it to others. But first you have to say it to yourself.

All right, I’ll start. I love you.

“Good shepherd, tell this youth what ’tis to love

It is to be all made of sighs and tears

It is to be all made of faith and service

It is to be all made of fantasy.”

W.S.

I LOVE YOU

If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with.

I’d bet that many more people say, “I hate you” the themselves than say “I love you.” But why would that be?

Too much self-loathing for me . . . The trick is to love yourself without being a narcissist.

You have to love yourself if you want others to love you.

Pets teach how to love. More by dogs, not cats.

Thank you.

And I, you.

The girl’s face reminds me of one I’ve seen before. It might be from the movie The Children’s Hour- Mary Tilford played by Karen Balkin.

I’m not quite sure that’s it, though. Maybe a bit of her grandma thrown in, played by Fay Bainter.

All kinds of love got all kinds of tortured. Such a sad movie.

Upturned face

Velvet eyes,

Say: " You won’t go away ? "

And mean: " Love me. "

.

Turned away face

Steel eyes,

Say: " Go away ! "

And mean: " Love me. "

.

And I,

Velvet Steel,

Love you !

Personally, I love the drawing.

Sad.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Loveless Fascination is the fourth album by Starship. As the first album of new material released by the band since 1989’s Love Among the Cannibals, this is the first album by the band to feature only Mickey Thomas from the band’s original line-up; as well as the only album by the band to feature any of the featured members’ other than Thomas himself.

I love you 4:00 o’clock pm Central Standard Time (CST), when it’s time to clock out from work..

She is a beautiful, unspoiled child.

And somebody is going to break her heart.

And I will drag them down, down down.

Until they are fused in the heart of a star.

The lady’s not for burning. She’s more to be pitied than censured.

Since the philosophers of old Greece, it has been recognized that there are different kinds of “love” (perhaps three, some would say), and different ways of loving or being loved.

One must love one’s Self first, again some would say, before one can or should love others. And there are theologians who tell us that God is Love.

Mary Tyler Moore’s theme said “love is all around us.”

Yeah. It’s hard….

“It doesn’t matter who you love, or how you love, but that you love…” – Rod McKuen

We all love you very much, Teresa!
