Painted Skulls, by Noah Scalin
You do clever brave profound things with words
You are kind. I hope to be brave…the rest is up to the reader. Thank you Sir.
ha! you fear, the you grimace, then you die and thousand times per life; suppose the rejoinder is: every time you die there is space for either new life or rebirth …
Perhaps. “Fear grimace” is also what we call it when an animal pulls its lips way back, exposing gum and teeth, when encountering a dominant other. It looks like a smile, but is in fact a submissive act. It has been theorized that this is where our “smile” comes from. The fear grimace of apes reminds me of that look that a skull has.
yep; I see that now, I think I ‘glazed’ over the reading a bit too much
Not at all. Every reader, reading, is different. I just like explaining fear grimace. The idea fascinates me. :-). (Virtual fear grimace)
