Special, as a word, I've always thought, can be just as positive or negative as most words -- and perhaps most of all, the word unique. To exist above, beyond or outside the norm is never an option, rarely a desire. To be special is to be hated, it is to disappoint, it is to persevere for change and enlightenment, it is to teach, to learn and to lie.

William Carlos Williams once said that poets 'are damned but they are not blind, they see with the eyes of angels.' and I believe that this is true for anyone who is extraordinary. It is a gift as it is a curse, you may exceed all expectations but your own -- or none.

I think that's why I've always liked knitting.

	And necessarily with rather less tenderness. But such things come later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There is always care, even if there is not perhaps tenderness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's done with the harvest in mind, which I suppose constitutes care. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes it does, or you'll have nothing to show for all your hard work, my dear. (Reply to this) (Parent)
