The volunteers here at Hospice, who overwhelmingly tend to be little ol' ladies, while working on a mailing were remarking on some of the odd names that are given to streets these days and one lamented that they were never on a street naming commitee.

Rolling Meadows Road
Reluctant Hills Farm Lane
Diver Cliff Drive

. . . and certainly many more are named after the landmarks and natural features of the land they now replace degrade. Why don't we give these places more apt titles, like:

Mediocre Place
Chloroflorocarbon Circle
Blistering Asphalt Court
Impervious Surface Plaza
Silt Runoff Way

Just to plant the seed in your imaginations, there are some very creative people out there! Start our own naming committee and stand out from our environment! Help rename your urban and suburban wasteland!

ya, i got you.
and it saddens me, too-
so much so sometimes, that i have to put that sardonic grin on and laugh it off, lest i go mad from the pain of it.


thats how coping works sometimes.
as we stand aside with tears, watching those around us work through samsara, hearts breaking and mouths shut. i find that sometimes it is the only way.

wish that wasnt the case sometimes, but then again, who am i to think i can do anything -for- anyone at all?
