Little star of heaven Lend me your brightness, For the life of this world Is a dark night.

The honey-pale moon lay low on the sleepy hill, And I fell asleep upon lonely Echtge of streams. No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind; The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams.

W.B. Yeats, from The Withering of the Boughs; Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats

[ghostqueenofthesun]

“But here’s a little secret for you: no one is ever the same thing again after anything. You are never the same twice, and much of your unhappiness comes from trying to pretend that you are. Accept that you are different each day, and do so joyfully, recognizing it for the gift it is. Work within the desires and goals of the person you are currently, until you aren’t that person anymore, and everything changes once again.”

Who knows? I may find gladness in my grief: Consoled, amidst my tears, in the belief That, for my sake, you were resolved to die, And that, if someone saved you, it was I.

There is a domestication movement of possums in America. I think ours are cuter too. are you guys domesticating them?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Australian possums are definitely cuter than American possums, and no, that sounds like a terrible idea. The last thing we need is even more animals running around that are unowned but dependent on humans.

Where I live does have a giant sinkhole where tourists go to feed the resident possums bits of fruit, though.

[geargoyle]

I kinda actually love that. But also, all I can think is, “Hey kiddos, wanna go for a trip to the POSSUM PIT??!??!”

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

My aunt and uncle got married in the possum pit.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

It’s a hole in the ground. There are some possums in it. If you give them bits of apple they will eat it. I don’t understand the question.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

The sinkhole looks like this:

The possums live in the walls.

[aviculor]

I wish to live near or inside the possum pit

Give me your hand, still your breath, let’s rest Under this great tree where the breeze dies Beneath grey branches, in broken sighs, The soft, tender rays of the moon caress.
