What after all made me happier than anything else this weekend was seeing the most fragile person I know gather the strength I always knew she had in her. Signe, after being yelled at by her stalker boyfriend, got up on a couch, stood there with her sweet little chin up and calmly said "Now, Benjamin, I'm looking down on you". It was beautiful.
(In the process she broke a gracefully slender Lalique crystal vase my mom bought in Paris, but not to worry, I googled it. It only costs some $1500)
Meanwhile, my own date tip-toes around me, us and my little moment with Miri (he hasn't yet mentioned it). He's so cautious, deadly afraid of me somehow falling from the sky high ivory pedestal he's put me on.
It frustrates me and makes me dream of falling, because unlike crystal vases, I don't break. I just feel more alive.

God,another stunning post ! I must tell you again that you write so beautiful,funny,deep and sometimes,sad.That's why I love it !
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have this awareness, that you won't break into pieces...Which is not as obvious as it may seem, because there are ppl who frankly must consider themselves as fragile as crystal vases - they're SO afraid of taking risks, being hurt or heartbroken (I'm like this sometimes. unfortunately).
ReplyDeleteLove your blog.
xoxo
I'm glad Signe stood up to him!! It's really good that you know you won't break. Stay strong! :)

ReplyDeleteHey Avy !!
ReplyDeleteI have been drawn in by the upscale inviting atmosphere coupled with the gorgeous interior of your blog.
Under the circumstances the Lalique shrapnel equates to minimal regret as "some" $1500...(so irrevelant), tells us so.
Consider them fragments of our imagination Signe.
