Sweet, Tart, and Insanely Brilliant

A little of 3 ( sweet, tart, and insanely brilliant) the fruitcakes of our world know much, yet we deem them crazy The fine line between sanity and insanity has been crossed we now no longer know who is a doctor, who is a quack I watched her bury stones inside the earth all over the grounds of our complex She spoke to herself and she spoke to the aliens God help her, one more complaint and they'd lock her up I went home to a sane house of quiet, and kneeled God give me the strength to survive one more day Then I buried my amethyst deep in the soil like the sweet tart had shown me, Insanely Brilliant !

I think we all need a bit more of the Mystical in our lives. Thanks for your visit. Hugs Rick.

What an enchanting view, a slice of life that could be or couldn't but still we gaze and understand somehow.

As Zorba once said "a man needs a little madness" I'm inclined to agree. Tom

Yes Amethyst is a healing stone, and its one of my favorite too, Mother Earth must be blessing her lol, though I didn't bury one, I watched a young woman do just that. thanks for reading Delice,

Dear friend Rose, you've done an excellent job here. It's one of my favorite writers, with all creative wackos wobbling in the light of a night sky. In the great scheme of things, the burial of this quasi-rock makes perfect sense.

If I had a dime for every time I saw something strange and not thought it strange, I'd be rich, nice comments, thanks for reading

Beautiful, Mystic Rose Rose. I have always wondered how we distinguish who is sane and who is insane? Could it be that some of those considered "insane," are seeing things that we cannot see? I ask myself lots of questions like this.

Dear Milton, I know you see things others don't, and I know you understand all too well, what is norm for one is not for another, thanks for the kind visit.

Mystic Rose Rose, All gifted lunatics sway under a full moon. It makes perfect sense, this semi-precious stone's burial. Maybe to return one day from alien's ruby red or emerald green. -Richard

Seems everyone has decided to drive me crazy today. And I am neither a doctor nor a quack :) Hugs.
