Brain

I somehow managed to work myself into a Mood this evening, and it's lingering a little even after I stopped Reading Submissions and went and Listened To Soothing Music for a bit, so I'm going to Give Up And Go To Bed.

But first, a bit from The House at Pooh Corner, which may explain after all why Beth and Arthur decided that Rabbit was the right Milne character for me:

"Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully.

"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever."

"And he has Brain."

"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."

There was a long silence.

"I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why he never understands anything."

Heh. But really what I wanted to post is a bit less pointed and a bit more soothing, and comes from a different Pooh story entirely, and it's this:

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind.

"Pooh!" he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."
