Monica85198503: “A child should be allowed to
take as long as she needs for
knowing everything about herself...

danklyn: When a thing is not likable, that is the end of it. It doesn’t matter what it should have been; there’s no more to be said about it. And when a thing is likable it is what it should be, and there’s no more to be said about it either.

Buds are mysteriously unbound
With a discreet significance,
And buds say nothing.
There are things that even the wind will not betray.
