I feel like maybe one day I should write a book about mental abuse, possibly narcissistic abuse specifically, and recognizing patterns of abuse. Because I think I could help some people. And it might be interesting just coming from it from an experiential viewpoint and not a psychological study point. I just thought of it right now. If I had recognized patterns of abuse when...

We are both from broken-homes:

mine was built intentionally

from bits of things (defensively),

and yours took form organically

over years and years,

the way that nails grow, but

wildly and ghastly to entomb you.

What is

A Glass House

an Ivory Tower?

My Glass House is a greenhouse,

too, and

I can interact and see

beyond my windows, willingly,

and creatures can look

I just fed the porchcats.

This is Daryl, and I am always so happy when he shows up. He doesn't show up all the time. He used to be our constant porchcat. I'm not sure where he lives, now.

This is Darla.

She sleeps in a box on our porch with Gizmo, who has never let us pet him, ever.

Gizmo is Darla's cute protector.

I'm sorry for your loss. The same thing happened to me several years ago with my evil little Norah, who was also 14 at the time, so I can understand just how terrible that can be. As to Darla and Gizmo, hopefully Gizmo comes around. Cats can be odd sometimes. My mom has one she helped who refused to come in at all... until the one time he snuck in and inadvertently got trapped inside, first hiding under a bed for months, and then under a chair, earning the nickname of "Chair Cat" (or "CC") from me. After hiding inside for a year, getting back outside, and being extremely antisocial for another year, something clicked in him, and now he's the friendliest, cuddliest cat in the world, realizing the people he didn't trust at the time were truly his friends. Hopefully Gizmo realizes that you're his friend, and starts to be more friendly and trusting as time goes on.

It was in a car.

It was moving.

This is very important.

It is very important to know how it moves.

What it is doesn't matter til later.

I just need an explanation of movement.

It is mimicking the motions of inanimate objects.

Imitating, of course, the hands of clocks.

In the image of tocks like the image of God.

And in its imitation

it...
