Will I still be me?
Talk about arrogance if you like, but you could also talk about pristine loveliness of one among many white peacocks at the Temple of Gold in West Virginia earlier this year.

Is she just feeling cold?
Excerpted from Daily Kos 9/19/19
The older I get, the more I realize this offensive, casual, ubiquitous misogyny in our culture affects older women in spades. When women are no longer “useful” to men, in the most basic, reproductive sense, they become an annoyance, taking up space. The opposite of “eye candy.” Bothering more important members of the community when they should just gracefully disappear into a corner. Maybe babysit. Because “male” attitudes still prevail as “normal,” this disregard is carried out generally. Not only bymen personally, but in our media, ads, stories, movies. And in our politics.
In our culture, older women enter into a campaign, discussion or competition with a very real handicap: invisibility, dismissibility. Younger women, do take note. This has a great deal to do with age. Beautiful young women, treated as brilliant wunderkind while they’re still ovulating, learn to their chagrin that, as accomplished, bright, capable as they now are, even more than they were, there was apparently another reason for a lot of that admiration and regard. That seems to be passing away as they age.
The most experienced, qualified candidate of our lifetime is running for President. She is also giving us a master class in double standards, sexism and just how appreciated older women are in our culture. Not very.

Gayle has introduced us to a “clerihew” which uses couplets and humour to present a biographical topic. She explains it much better than I can, so head on over to dVerse. I may have broken a rule by not mentioning the late Theodore Seuss Geisel or as we fondly know him, Dr. Seuss.
O I fell in love with Nancy Drew
who shone at ferreting out the clue;
without a doubt the very best sleuth
in my isolated bookish youth.
Who am I? I’ve been struggling with that question ever since began dabbling into the subject of genetics and personality.
It’s no secret that a severe brain trauma or an insidious disease such as Alzheimer’s can alter who we “are”. Maybe that’s where the “soul” comes in, but I dunno…
No one thinks it’s strange that we can take an anti-depressant and our experience of ourselves and our world looks different. The pill has seemed to change the self, or at least our experience of the self. Hasn’t it? And what else is the self but our experience of it? (It seems the self really means self-awareness).
If a pill can change the self, is it so far a jump to the concept that our self is the shadow cast on the cave wall by our biochemicals?
Or our genes?
It is now acknowledged that we come into the world with different temperaments and intellectual potentials. They call it being “hardwired.” It has also been theorized that only human beings possess self-consciousness, although 98% of our DNA is identical to that of chimpanzees.
I don’t think I know myself. (One of the reasons I’ve never experimented with street drugs is because when I experience myself, I want to know I’m experiencing me, and not a foreign substance masquerading as me.)
