Passionfruit flowers
Precede overabundance
Jam jars are ready
Ripened or not so
Papayas can be eaten
Until sick of it
The rambutans red
Are all infested with ants
Inedible now
Avocado trees
Why do you never give fruit?
I want to smash you
My chillies just came
It was a surprise to all
Conditions perfect
Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
Today I’m grateful for:
The cookie I ate at House with my lunchtime coffee. It wasn’t particularly tasty or big but somehow it staved off any afternoon hunger so I ended up only needing yoghurt for dinner.
The best thing about today was:
Being able to talk to different students on a more personal level about more serious topics such as behaviour and respect. Even with the difficulties we have in communicating I feel as if I have their confidence in some ways.
