being sensitive to coincidence. You can't go looking for it; you can't want it, or you want get it. First you must lose your self. Then it happens :-)

Part of getting through life is accepting, and dealing with, our weaknesses. Which doesn't mean they aren't still a pain in the butt.

Me, I'm over-sensitive to all kinds of sensory input - and input affecting my sensors. For instance, even in August in our constant ocean breezes, I daren't go outside without my ears covered.

This is, of course, a huuuge pain. When everyone else is out in shorts and bathing suits, I'm sweating with a big fleecy band around my head. It sucks, but the alternative (excruciating ear aches) sucks a whole lot worse.

I'm also overly sensitive to noise. And bright light. Especially bright flashing light that hits my eyes unexpectedly. So... imagine how much fun I am as a companion at a rawk show. Normally I take along ear plugs. Last night I forgot.

I guess I was lulled into complacency by the fact that the show was at a theatre. A play house. A place I last attended in my teens, when I saw some Shakespearean production there. So yeah... I went in plugless. And immediately regretted it. Still... I was up for enjoying myself... until the %$(*&$%(&ing light show started.

I can't imagine whose idea it was to flash big spotlights directly into the audience's eyes repeatedly throughout the night. Probably the same wise person who decided a super-bright sign behind the band... illuminated by 10,000 1,000 watt bulbs... was also a very good thing to flash repeatedly in the audience's eyes.

What really amazed me was that no one else seemed bothered. Whereas I was in several sorts of agony all night.

The bright flashing lights. Fuck, man. I thought I was gonna have a seizure or something. I ended up spending most of the night doubled over with my head in my lap, eyes closed, hands clamped over my face. Every time I tried to enjoy actually watching the band... zappo! Unexpected blasts of super-bright white light set off pinball explosions in my brain.

So today is pretty much a write-off. Migraine city, man.

And I HATE HATE HATE that my body is so delicate.

I'm from sturdy peasant stock. Why am I so fragile? Why do things that normal people take in stride disable me?

Sorry for the whining self-pity. Kee-rist. At least I know, without a doubt, that I am now too old for rawk shows. Goodbye youth. Your time has come and gone. From now on I'll just satisfy myself by listening to records at home.

“Leave some shards under the belly

Lay some grease inside my hand

It’s a sentimental jury

And the makings of a good plan…”

For my "One of a kind" flower images project. I took this pic after heavy rain came thru Portland. The petals have Geometric shapes, with waterdrops nestling in each petal. I love the result. I got my Gazania 2 years ago. It amazes me how beautiful the flowers are when they open up each day.

Gazania flowers are light-sensitive. They close up at night and on particularly cloudy days. It is a behavior called nyctinasty. Although the reason for this behavior isn't fully understood, some scientists believe that this behavior prevents pollen from becoming wet and heavy with dew.

Golden-hooded Tanager (Tangara larvata) is distinguished by its golden hood for which it gets its name. They are resident from northern Central America south to northwestern South America. Species is primarily occurs at the edge of tropical lowland evergreen forest. The Golden-hooded Tanager travels in pairs or small family groups; it also occasionally joins mixed-species flocks or joins aggregations of birds at fruiting trees. Because the population overall size is unknown, there is no way to known if the population is decreasing. However, the Golden-hooded Tanager primarily uses forest edges and is tolerant of habitat disturbance, and so is less sensitive to human activity (Birds of the world).

If touched, this plant's leaves will fold quickly enough to be easily observed - therefore, "sensitive."

Tofu is truly a sensitive soul. There are a lot of things he is afraid of, like the vet, the vacuum cleaner, the garbage truck, the doorbell, the neighbour's dogs, people he doesn't know, etc. Whenever something worries him he hides either behind me or behind Cleo and if that isn't possibe he disappears behind the sofa. On the other hand he is a very kind, sweet, charming and peaceful cat. He is the only cat I have ever had who can sit under a birdfeeder for hours while birds come and go and no bird will get harmed because he just wants to watch them.
