S is for Startistics

Cordelia Gray,

22-22-22

And hoping to stay 

that way!

But as the days do

Multiply and the negatives 

Starturning to positives

One may have to accept the

Inevitable changes 

That are on their way

Believe

Stepping over the threshold

I entered into your world

Unlike any I had 

experienced

Yet strangely familiar,

A homecoming. A long ago dream 

I don't remember requesting

Yet now before me 

Was coming true

Objects and lights, 

sounds and delights,

Melded and merged between

You between Me

Between Me 

and You

Spinning rounder 

Arounder

In ever increasing circles

With each visit  't would have been

Oh so easy to get lost in us

2 never return 2 

This Oddinary world

Your presence residing 

everywhere - and why?

I cannot reply.

Only that

I came to you bringing 

What (I thought) was my light 

my love and my laughter

And discovered through you,

A darkness that resides is us all.

And my light became your darkness

And your darkness become

My light

T is for Test

Took THE Test this morning  - 

Came out positive

Two negatives 

Equal a positive

Or rather 

280 Positives 

to be exact

So I now belong to 

THAT group of Cuppets

  

Gray

Cordelia Colourful Gray here!

Though I'm neither Cordial

Nor Colourful

Nor Gray - 

That's -AY (not EY)

And why, why?

Because it matters

To me you see 

So all I can do is

Reveal to you

In weekly Green Shots

My colourful 

CUPPSO 

thoughts

Cordelia

After endless tussles 'tween 

creation and (human) bean

Latter agrees to a working 

partnership

Creation wants to be seen!

Cardboard friend,

Woollen confidant

Cordelia now takes up this

Blog appointment

With archly pencilled brow- 

Cordelia decries:

"Cuppets are to be seen

Are to be heard"

To which procrastinator replies:

"For too long I waited daily, 

for Inspire-ation to drop like 

Manna from the skies"

With a Roll of her eyes,

Cordelia replies 

"But your manna turned to ManYAna 

See how time flies?"

Now in agreement,

Created-becomes-Creator,

and creator, created in

this partnership(ful) year

Fast- (e)Mails into Snail-Mail

Is that still possible? During Lockdown 2021 ?

Short answer -  Yes! It is

A 4am wake-up for the kids & myself.

Dish-washing, laundry, re-heating of 

Yesterday's soup. With buttery toast.

Over 3 hot cuppa CUPPSO soups for breakfast - 

A most welcome email arrives,

From my younger daughter's school.

Letting us know her classmates at school 

Will be posting (class)friends at home

Personal 

 Hand 

    Written 

      Letters...

Brilliant for run-down mums.

Brilliant for tired-teachers, 

To setup in class

Most of all brilliant for

The next Gen. Zed-ers 

To re-discover the Excitement, 

The Beauty, 

The Magic and the Mystery

      Of Letter-writing.

            Once Upon A Time again!

18 Months on they're thriving

About 18 months ago the kids and I planted shrubs and flowers in our shared communal area.  Amongst the things we planted were 30 sets of very, very, VERY miserable, crunchy, dried-up garden flowers. The shop had literally given these away.  

Anyway we planted them in a quick, slap dash manner. From time to time, I would point out to the kids how sorry-looking these flowers continued to look. However for the most part we forgot about them.

That was back in 2018.

Last Christmas, we were surprised to notice these same plants had been transformed into a row of strong, vivid-pink, thriving flowers!

They have added much needed colour and vibrancy to our frosty, mid-winter months.
