So, freewrite means free associations when you choose to write on a daily basis, I see in my quick scan of feed, @improv goes to pitbulls, so as pun-King, he’s got the sounds-alike covered.
My first thought, or rising vision, is that of my mother picking up a wet Siamese kitten and commenting just how pitiful the cat looked with her fluff all ruffled and the stink-eyed look on her face peering through the screen door. We’d taken her in the house and with a downy dish towel rubbed very gently, but as vigorous as the stinky little thing could take, like one of those commercials or movies in which the sassy blonde steps up out of the pool, using a white and red striped towel to scrub her wet head. Kitty got busy licking her arms and rubbing her ears.
But a quick search of the thesaurus turns up a giant list of likenesses to this word, PIT is FULL, and not all connotations are cute and feel sorry for. For example, pathetic seems much harsher like something you spit with mirth and malice, or how someone’s being despicable and/or inadequate, are not attributes or attitudes you want to pick up and help.
Cheap and paltry advice, disguised as spiritual, the poor, pitiful, socialized dolts at the group I attended last night, no matter if one believes in the power of positive thinking, or that thoughts can be changed just by willing them away. Sometimes, the razor of another, shows you where your own shadow lies.
