strawberry shampoo does not taste as good as it smells.
i had asked my daughter
to pick out a nice shampoo and conditioner for me
was excited to get these
loved reading the labels
here are just some of the words/phrases on the packaging:
Resurrection
For weak, brittle hair that needs an intervention!
Damage Level – 3
Micro shields boost strength and stamina
Great results may cause your hair’s ego to inflate to astronomical proportions.
what?! ‘damage level -3’?!
i love the descriptors
who could resist even one of these?
and also there is so much little writing on the label
the shampoo and conditioner bottles look exactly the same
once i’m in the shower i have no idea which is which
and i always forget to look before i get in
and i’m not getting out to get my glasses on
so i have a 50/50 chance of getting it right, a roll of the dice
and sometimes i lose
this is what i call an ‘x-treme’ hair care experience.

crystals.
crystals shine and drape
making chandeliers
out of the ordinary.

“it is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam.
this crisp winter air is full of it.”

deeply.
“that we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone,
that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.”

dressed in all of it’s finest adornments
dancing to the wind.

snow was falling.
grand circus park, detroit, michigan, usa – 1920s

walking in the beautiful snowfall yesterday, it was clear some things never change, even after 100 years
—
“snow was falling, so much like stars filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine its reason for being was nothing more than prettiness.”
