RE: My entry for @robyneggs Poetry Dice Challenge 3000 - Week 2
I think you can top it @bleedpoet. It was inspired by your brief obscure interpretation last week. I even combined 2 in one. Did you spot it?
I want to guess Luna, the moon, with the smiley face or monster, lunatic, lunacy. I'm glad to have inspired you, but truly the student has surpassed the teacher🙏🏽
Happy and sad faces. Labile. A psychiatric term for changeable mood.
For some reason I always associate lunacy with happiness and sanity as morose. Even having had looked up the definition of labile I couldn't break that association in my mind 😄....😳....🤗
Everything is up for interpretation. I do think lunacy is underrated. It is the atypical minds that deliver genius and innovation. Too often they suffer for it too. So we could probably attribute the 🌙 😀😢 to the one.
I don't like the word lunacy very much. It seems derogatory, I am wishing I could have referenced a crescent in a clever way, but my brain isnt firing as well as usual.
I don't find lunacy deragatory, because that insinuates their is something wrong with it. I find crazy to be an endearing trait in some, a passion that's extra ordinary.
I read about your condition saturday evening, I know my donation was not much, but I hope it helps a little. I reckon your in the states, I feel bad that your country robs from the sick.
I am in Australia. I know that the US has its problems, but they also have specialists clinics for my issues. Both countries have services that put us in a position that could be considered lucky compared to some. I guess it's all relative. Your contribution was beautiful and very significant. I wish to respond to everyone who has helped us.
My current position has me lying flat as much as I can, and tapping away on my phone. I can't do much, just the little bit of steemit hurts from neck to hands, but it is my connection to the world.
I also very much value our exchange and reading your posts.
Keep Steeming. X
I also love madness. I worked for many years as a psych nurse. Psychosis is still fascinating to me. Delusional systems are incredible. They can be highly developed inclusive thinking.
I guess my first instinct is to always respect and protect people with mental illness. Until I got sick I was very passionate about patient advocacy.
