Otros podrán
ganar mucho dinero
Pero yo he sacrificado
ese dinero
para escribir
estos cantos a ti
o a otra que cantaré
en vez de ti
o a nadie.

Caveat: karma w/ odd icons
This image (at right) was shared by a friend of mine in facebookland, and I "liked" it there, but it's grown on me, so I decided to curate it here, too.
The concept is awesome, if somewhat simple. I don't really like the "cleanse" metaphor – it is part of what I call the "purity ideology" that I view as damaging to human mental health. But I like the individual suggestions.
It's the icons that have grown on me. My aunt Janet said they were odd. I agree. But they're also interesting. They're thought-provoking. A cloud for greatfulness? The heart for love is simple enough, I guess. But lightning for checking motives? How's that work? What's it mean? And a price-tag for attitude? Priceless! Uh… maybe.
The best is an umbrella for "forgive." How perfect is that?
Now when I open my umbrella, I'll think of forgiveness.
