redbrick commented on: Pinocchio by Pungus 4 weeks 1 day* ago* The chancellor kneels, not: The chancellor kneels, not for himself, not for Germany, but for ghosts in Warsaw’s streets— silent, unimpressed. The cameras hum, history clicks its tongue. They say humility cannot be staged, yet here we are. Willy Brandt on his knees in Warsaw 1970. A voice in Berlin cuts through the Cold War frost, "Ich bin ein Berliner," and the crowd erupts, so delighted that they ignore the pastry joke until decades later, when revisionists gleefully inform them they were cheering for cake. JFK in West Germany, 1963. Two men clasp hands at Verdun, gripping the century’s blood between them. Some call it reconciliation, others call it a handshake over bones. And the press, always hungry for symbols, devour it whole. Helmut Kohl and François Mitterand, 1984. Adenauer, unyielding, steps onto the carpet meant for victors, pretending it was his all along. A gesture so bold that even protocol looks the other way, muttering about audacity. Donald enters, a maestro of pantomime, mocking and mimicking, small hands waving, exaggerations towering. Some call it leadership, others call it performance art. Either way, the audience keeps clapping. History moves, but the theatre remains, a stage of gestures and grand illusions— each one a waving handy 'kerchief touché, offered in jest, accepted as truth. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: dance to a different tune by redbrick 4 weeks 1 day* ago* The connection you described,: The connection you described, with shimmering cadence and timeless elegance, is precious beyond words. Free from pressure and pretense and needy “love”, there is room for respectful disagreements and ultimate acceptance. These are the friendships that are “refined” over the years and sustain us throughout our lives. Artfully composed. Pure gold! [ go to comment ]

redbrick commented on: Pinocchio by Pungus 4 weeks 1 day* ago* ...hypnotic, rhythmic: ...hypnotic, rhythmic quality—pulling the reader into a world where thoughts, sensory experiences, and existential musings merging; like Jack-O-Lantern and Pinocchio intersecting.
