Twisted Trunks

‘Twisted Trunks’

‘Twisted Stairs’

…up and down, round and round…

Yesterday’s post Truly Twisted‘s vine picture gets the gothic makeover.

I have the flu and am struggling in the fizzing positivity stakes, in case you couldn’t guess. Rehashing an image is certainly not beneath me today.

Today’s not so inspiring words to match come from the heavy metal heart of Glen Danzig:

“Got a little twist of Cain, from the god below “

(Danzig, ‘Twist Of Cain’)

Murder, check. Satan, check.

…add them to the list of unpleasant twisty things.

Twisted things get a bad rap mostly.

If you twist the truth, you lie, and that is not generally a good thing.

Except we often don’t want to call a lie out for what it is sometimes.

So a liar ‘gilds the lily’, is ‘economic with the truth’ or just ‘a little disingenuous.’

A twist on a twist, as it were.

Snakes are twisty, sorta unloved and often deadly.

Actual twisters are beautiful , but wreak havoc and destruction in their paths.

‘Twists of fate’ are random and unpredictable.

Truth is ,we are all twisted in some way.

Biologically. Socially. Environmentally. Psychologically. Intellectually.

That just comes with being human.

However, being twisted does not prevent a spiral staircase; a double helix; a rope; or a vine, being purposeful, strong and creative.

I’ll leave it to you to add your own twist to things…
