At war? Isn't love a form of war? Well...
Yea, strange what pops from conversations.
Through life, death, back and forth.
Yes, I know.
Mercy requires surrender.
It isn't she who sees. I do. She does watch closely, listens too.
Not a real. Fight or flight? Tangled thoughts in pain.
And, yet.
It... isn't all bad. It isn't even mostly, or even half bad. I enjoy, vast majority of it, win, lose, or draw. Mostly. There is something about the hope of it.
Odd what washes ashore during storms.
In Basil Dearden's delightful 1969 film "The Assassination Bureau", Oliver Reed attempts to draw Diana Rigg into sharing a tender moment. Up until that moment Rigg's character wasn't exactly responsive. But now . . .
ReplyDelete"Miss Winter, surrender," Reed gently commands.
Rigg's character decided to consider the situation. "After all," she said, "surrender is not defeat for a woman".
Very true. More? Surrender is the only way they can actually win. I can't say how that actually works, it's a God thing. But between honest men and women, her surrender is both their win. It is partly why I still have an impossible hope. Do I? Yeah.
ReplyDeleteWhat about impossible is not understood? Thankfully, as I doubt they can understand, I don't think women actually read here, not the ones... well, they don't.
