Of course of course of course!! Milli, I've seen your work before of course! On another thread, but I don't remember which one and I had forgotten who the author was. I like them a lot! I like the faces! The colours you use. Very beautiful indeed!
Clarissa, thank you for the tip! I hadn't heard of craigslist but I checked and I clicked on 'Belgium' and there are flats to rent, buy etc. among other things. I have bookmarked the site and will use it when it will become necessary... ..
I like your added 11th line in Smart's poem! Pets are adorable beings and it's nice to know that a lot of people treat them well. Even though the opposite is true too, sadly enough.
At night, I go walk my cats. Really! They follow me through the front door and then around my building. It's a 7-minute walk or so, but still they seem to enjoy it a lot, even when it's freezing cold outside, like tonight. I've met people a couple of time. An elderly man asked me if I was walking my dog and I said, err, no.. and pointed at Brokie.. Another time they wouldn't come back inside with me (they always take their time, but eventually follow me back inside) and this neighbour came along. I told him I was walking my cats and that they wouldn't come back inside. The man actually tried to catch Brokie and Sayif to help me get them back into the apartment. Needless to say, neither Brokie nor Sayif let themselves be caught by a stranger!
He gave up after a while, when I had convinced him, that they could always go around to the back of the building, up the little wall, through my garden and the cat flap back inside. ..
Scott, you are so right about the connection. It's been almost a year now for me at BM and the last 9 months or so, I haven't posted much. Ever since I got the DVD in the spring last year, I haven't watched BBM again(!). Still, I never completely abandoned BetterMost, so because of my Birthday and Kelda's post I started posting a bit more often again and actually only now found out about the BBM Radio. Well, not 'found out' but finally clicked on the icon... And I was listening to one of the many beautiful songs, whilst reading your poem, whilst taking that picture and I felt so 'at home' that evening...
And when you say 'bits of you are floating around all over the world, affecting people's lives', that gives me goose-bumps.. Rufus Wainwright is singing right now (The Maker Makes) and before BBM I had never heard of him and since then, I've seen him live on stage and discovered him as an actor in 'Heights' recently. Had no idea he was in that movie. What a great surprise! It's like a circle or the 'six-degree-separation' thing (which I was reading about, only because I was investigating on Stanley Milgram - a psychologist, who maybe knew of Christopher Smart's condition.. They both died quite young at almost the same age.) - it's all connected - we are all connected somehow, in ways we wouldn't think would be possible. It's a nice feeling..
j. U. d. E. -
it's quite late here, so pardon my bad syntax! I did a spell check, but more I can't do at this time of night.. 
The oven is NOT on! 
I was getting ready to turn it on, when Brokie jumped inside!I had just enough time to take out the tray that I was planning on using..
