Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for April 16, 2015

Love also changes people.

You can’t be a tadpole forever.

I’m half the man I used to be. (“Creep” by Stone Temple Pilots) (Now I long… for yesterday… ay ay ay…)

I’m not the man I used to be either. Oh….. yeah, I’m a woman, uh,,,,,ok. nevermind

I was never the person I used to be.I’m not even who I am now.I am actually made of cheese.

“I used to be Lon Chaney, Junior—and his father!”

I find new things about myself moment to moment.Which personality said that?

I used to be Etoin Shrdlu.

The Andrew Sisters & Bing Crosby-Accentuate The PositiveGetting Better- The BeatlesSomewhere over the Rainbow – Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo?ole

Joy, love and good fortune changed me … I’m not the same person I was back when I suffered all that pain and loss. -Its not love of money as the prophet said, but fear of pain that’s the root of evil.

Neither am i.And I’m still changing.My scars have scabs.

If you like your person, you can keep your person. (As long as the government approves of you.)

Forward!

From too much love of living, From hope and fear set free,We thank with brief thanksgiving Whatever gods may beThat no life lives for ever;That dead men rise up never;That even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea.

And besides…

Vlad?

We learn from our mistakes.I’m in the accelerated class.I’m actually quite surprised I haven’t graduated already.

None of us are who we used to be. The thing is, is that change for the better or change for the worse? Just do it! Or something, at least….

“I walk along these hillsides in the summer ’neath the sunshineI am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me”-Counting Crows : A Murder of One

Everything keeps moving until the heat death of the universe.

Sometimes a person comes out better afterwards while some of us wonder if they can ever find that first person again.Then you must question if you would give up the strength for the peace of mind. Ain’t life a B………
