On the first order...run spell checker on all of your writing. On the second...does it matter what we think or believe, or does it matter what is true? "Thou shall have no image before me"...crucifix, saint, nor virgin mary. You do not need to recognize the construction company in-order to find it a very fine road.
A taste of pain, the freezing rain, imagine the damage to the brain. "We hold these truths self evident, all people are created equal," that prejudice can exist in a nation founded by these words is a shame. That fact demonstrates clearly our failure to teach these foundations to our citizens, and if all citizens do not embrace the structure of their nation...that structure does not exist. Your brush with this condition, obviously rang bells of warning, and your response was well stated. Isn't it amazing the most prejudice of people can stand and wave the American Flag? Shame on them.
I cannot recall ever seeing it put better. People ask me how I conceived "Schizophrenic Rescue." and it is only when I inform them it is the product of prayer, do they become assured I am crazy. However, it is the truth, it was handed to me complete, in just that manner. There are many dawns which don't involve the sun. You have told it very well.
I find your expressing of your internal self poignant, however, let me make some suggestions.
Write your work in MSWord and run spell checker prior to posting it. You show talent and this will help you show professionalism. Now to the expression of pain and longing. In time you will find the memories of your first bowl of ice-cream very sweet, however you will realize indeed there are other bowls to come. First make yourself your best friend, for you are the only one who will always be there when you are troubled. Once this has been achieved, you are never alone. An enjoyable read and insight.
I would have given you 5.0, however I must disagree with your conclusion. "Only time will tell," is this not how we got here, waiting for it to get better. If you are interested in how it can be changed, I would be happy to send you -a-solution. "We are each one responsible for the world we inhabit."
Passion does not equal love. However, we can love the passion. This is far different than loving the person, for when we come to truly know them, we may find they are assholes. When we sort the deck we find four differnt suits, and and thirteen denominations in each. However, it is still only one deck.
Is this not our true purpose, never bowing our head to any one. Rather always looking up and reaching higher. "Never live down to somebody else's opinion, always live up to yours."
THANK YOU!! I have spent my life saying these things, although from a western point of view. If we have not sought we cannot know. If we do not know then we must not condemn. Man's judgement can only exist for the violations of man's laws, when that judgement is given by man. Any judgement which is given and infringes on the race of human beings, (the only race), and their devotion to God's law shall be a violation of God's will. I was raised with Christian values, and yet have never met a Christian. I accept Muslim values and have never met a Muslim. No human may interperate God's word (He said exactly what he meant). It greatly vexes me how the instruction books can be so simple, and yet we fail to see. The sublime is there before us and we wallow in the base. How magnificent the gift of life and the treasures of our planet, which were meant for all. Yet how sullied we allow them to be used. We are each one responsible for the world we inhabit, and when we step up and accept the responsibility it can become glorious. There is a simple path, which by agreeing to step upon it changes the world into that it was meant to be. I am a person who asked what I was to do, and was told, "Show this path." It is at this advanced stage of my time on earth, (age 61), that I finally learned what I was to grow up and become. I promised if told, I would give my life to the answer, and so I now spend all waking time keeping that promise. If your word is no good you are no good. If you are curious, e-mail me and I would be happy to send you a writing concerning this answer to my prayer. I would welcome your comments. Like little drops of water that makes up the deep blue sea, one person at a time makes up our society. There was never meant to be greater than or less than in the order of humanity. May his hand be upon thee.
The only truth we can ever know is our truth. Regardless of the need, we are never able to see why somebody else does something. This is so because we did not live their life, have their experiences and pain. The pieces of the puzzle that make up their life are not the pieces of our puzzle. Everything is founded in cause and effect. You told this well, your pain, confusion, and need, could be felt. It could use some smoothing. As writers our greatest tool is a dictionary and we should never be far from one.
I hope this was a part of your healing, for it is medicine without compare. Truth is defined by the path we walk, and the path we walk is our responsibility. You appear to have made good choices in your path selection. After we prepare a meal we must clean up the clutter in preparation for our next epicurean delight. To that chore please note, (worst, pregnant (the one in caps), doesn't, planned). Minor crumbs on the counter of your kitchen, but worth sweeping up.
Nature-nurture we cannot say.
For the actions taken we must pay.
All that is due and payable now comes.
They are we and we are they.
Looking forward to that day
when we look backward and loudly pray.
I did not know, I did not see,
that was how it is going to be.
The circles of life the pleasures of strife.
Oh what the hell, all things are as they are supposed to be.
You know you longer and better than any other so if you do not love you why should anyone else? Young believer, believe in thee for you write well thats plain to see.
Good to see you working at your calling. I enjoy your very mature ability to paint with words. Do not ever allow anything to crush your mind. Always remember there is a reason they are like that, and often it would break your heart to know what it is. We have free will and in my case I swore when it was my turn I would not do unto others as was done unto me. I have done fairly well at these promises. The cream shall rise to the top.
I too just received the news of my eldest daughter, grandchild II is on the way. So much work to teach them to fly--so much pain when they succeed. how can it be she was just sitting here...on daddy's knee. I loved this piece.
Well L Susan I see you are still turning out quality work. I just completed my first novel__a simple thing but a start. Have begun a far more complex sequel and then who knows. I was nice to take a break and and find refreshment in others worlds. Thank you
Phew, as a child I grew up in the country carrying a gun everywhere. Sometimes when we instinctively shoot we are remarkably accurate. It is apparent this applies to writing also. Excellent work with potential for limitless expansion. Yes, we ever expand. Ain't the world a wonderment???
Age is like parking your car if you don't get backed into or a ticket its ok. Never park in the same place twice if you can help it. Always hold onto the truth, honor, the path that is yours. To hell with the fools who cast off your trenchant thoughts, for to be so thoughtless means they never had one. Thus they can value nothing. You will never be as wise as those older (if they didn't die at some stage of their living), the goal is learn and be wiser than most of your peers. In five, ten, or twenty years you will know what those older sages knew--but then they will five, ten or twenty years older. We ignore our young, and aged and in that we lose the opportunity to see the wonder again and and to see the wiseness. Remember the vehicle has no status but yours has a pretty classy driver
Thank you for the clarification. I have wondered about the function of these rewards but as yet I am still staggering the corridors of this domain. Your explanation helped clear a way through this shadow world and prehaps I shall one day feel at home. Should that come to pass, you have helped expedite the process. k-i-smet
Thank you for your precise outline of what it must be. My concern comes from lack of information on how that is accomplished for your needs. Only you can determine if these requirements have been meet--after the fact. In my own case I shall shiver nervously awaiting your judgement. I do not disparage, for trust me your requirements shall give me(always) pause for reflection. Again thank you. A lost wanderer K.I.Smet
Only God is perfect. This said I thank you for your instructive clarity. As a new wanderer through these honored halls I find I often bump into walls. All signposts which point the way and hopefully help me with what I say--are appreciated. It is my opinion you were concise, clear and helpful. my lost status to you no fault for you helped me write this simple thought. THANK YOU for this opportunity to communicate. Keep throwing life preservers so more may survive their journey without stumbling quite so often. K.I.Smet
