come on, aileen
Dancing in the City (c) Pierre-Auguste Renoir
On the ninth day of Christmas
my true love sent to me:
Nine Ladies Dancing
Eight Maids a Milking
Seven Swans a Swimming
Six Geese a Laying
Five Golden Rings
The meaning of Aileen
Origin: Irish
Meaning: Light. From the name Eibhlin
Origin: Scottish
Meaning: From the green meadow
An Irish female name. Some translate it as "light." If so, it may be a form of Helen; but it is more probably from the Erse "ail", "noble, beautiful"; or from "aille", meaning "handsome, fair"; or corrupted from "ailgean", meaning "noble offspring."
it's my sister's birthday. we went to church and were chosen to light the final advent candle on friday, christmas eve. after the two dozen tulips from her "babe" yesterday, he got her, our mum and me tickets to paris (talk about a package deal!)...
a molecular biologist and poet, she strings words like DNA sequences (as i've told our editor-friend). now, if only i could write like that! i have to sit on my ass and squeeze my brains out to get the words to flow, but she does it with no effort!
The undefinable joy of two-way communication
when lines cross connecting voices, thoughts, halves.
What would she have done
if light were never deflected by the sun
if there were only flat space and free fall
and two lines lying side by side
were destined to lie side by side
not ever touching
She must have said something
someone altered his course.
On curved space,
parallel lines do meet.
