They are good legs for smooching. And they won’t stay that way for long. 😊
The first picture is of a movie screen at a movie theater. By chance, the image that I caught was of two hands reaching out and holding each other. Since the theater was dark, and the images on the screen were changing, the hands are somewhat blurred, but I like that about the picture.
I’m sorry to hear that things ended that way with your husband. Are love and time just at odds with each other?
Good question!
I believe external forces are causing marriages to fail, especially all this hullaballoo about sex. It's very hard to remain married now, too many entities are telling us to look out for this or that being wrong, this or that should be better. It's very difficult to be happy now, someone somewhere is telling us we should have more, and so one or the other sometimes both of the partners become artificially unhappy. We forget the love we once shared, or it becomes perverted. We must relearn how to trust our own inner instincts, and to be allowed to pursue those instincts. We are being forced into an ever smaller world to live in.
I watched a movie called Triangle of Sadness recently. I teach a film class here that is based on dialogues from a monthly movie. I don’t choose the movies, so I never know what’s going to be next. It’s pretty interesting that way.
Anyway, I feel like one of the characters in that movie, Carl, is a pretty good example of how confused people are about love.
So you squeeze teaching a class it too? Teaching is a lot of work, outside of class. Folks don't realize how much time the good teachers spend preparing for each class.
Sound like a cool class. How did you get into that? Is this part of a class for teaching English? Who chooses the movies? Goodness you've opened up a lot of questions here.
Love could be so simple, is very simple, until we bring human cultural expectations into it. The tiny boxes again. Hang on, there's a poem in that!
tiny boxes,
chock-a-block with expectations,
our lives today
Teaching is about 90% prep, 8% execution, and 2% discipline/management, or something like that. It’s definitely a lot of work before you even get into the classroom.
I teach quite a few private lessons in the evenings, but none take as much prep time as this movie lesson (watching the movie, transcribing two scenes, building a lesson plan around the language used in each scene).
The person who started the group of English/movie enthusiasts 18 years ago chooses the movies. So far this year we’ve watched She Said, The Exorcist, the original Japanese version of Ikiru, Maverick, The Godfather, Fame, and The Age of Adeline, The Birds, and Licorice Pizza. Next will be Triangle of Sadness.
I got this job because the person who had taught the class for twelve years returned to the States and asked me if I’d be interested in taking it over. Random and simple as that.
You’ve got a poem for everything.😉
I like it.
