"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)

The first hint of butterfly love…
Sisyphos said, 3 months ago
Test: which stimulus has the stronger effect on you: auditory or visual? “Vaguely pornographic” or “butterfly love”?

Butterfly porn. This is great.

Do you pollinate here often?

Butterfly & Beautyfly are two naive but happy butterflies in an animated Belgian TV-series.

there’s a ” net ” joke here somewhere—but it’s too elusive for me

judyparka - I’m embarrassed to admit I know this,, The Captain and Tenille,, (now I’ll go hide in the basement and put my Neil Sedaka and Barry Manilow tapes in the ol’ boombox).

That song is on America’s Greatest Hits judy et jack, along with those AM radio classics from the 70’s like; Horse With No Name, Sister Golden Hair, Ventura Highway, when I listened to that album Muskrat Love was a song that I always skipped.

Jackmatt I knew who sang it as well, but didn’t want to be the first to admit it ;-)

They played that song at The White House for President Ford and the Queen.

rshaffer4444: a statement like THAT requires proof. Where did you hear/read about this?

I posted a Captain and Tennille cartoon on my blog.

dark has its own fallibility:
precocious drops of midnight
glorious in gloom,
vulnerable.
I can neither sleep nor move,
cocooned of inner sight.
only your butterfly kiss awakens me,
awakens me.

July 7, 1976, @ransomknotts, it was an auspicious day at the White House:
