Thank you, Jeff, for pointing out my redundancy. Seriously. That type of thing bugs me, too, and I'm surprised that I missed it when proofreading.

Hi all. I've recently revised my profile, and would appreciate your input on it. All positive suggestions welcome. I would especially like to hear from gentlemen out there what you see as positive and negative in my profile. Thanks in advance for your help

Plenty of Fish Theme Song : Add a Verse Posted: 9/2/2005 4:50:32 PM
They passed many an hour Sharing thoughts and views Sharing life in general While life collected its dues. Slowly, day by day As time marched along They came to be a ‘couple’ That thought about lifelong. A house they bought together In which to share their time He invested everything he had Every penny, nickel and dime. His life seemed to be bliss Pure delight arrived with each dawn But suddenly one day He awoke to find her gone.

Underneath the camouflage Not a soul discerns me Doling out what you expect Refuse to let you see Evidence of who I am Safely under lock and key Secreted so none will know Expose myself to no degree Drat, I have myself revealed Next topic...transformation

Hey h3r4ty Posted: 8/22/2005 2:59:19 AM
Great poem h3r4ty like shadows they walk around us, places of green now turned steel and stone, wraiths of their former selves, like echoes they reverb around suburbia... What a poignant description! Your words reflect my own disquiet when forced to be long away from the countryside. Too much concrete and asphalt between The Mother and her child is not a good thing... ~Divine Essence

Philosophy Posted: 8/21/2005 3:44:14 PM
Religion is based mostly on faith,...philosophy mostly on examination. Posted By: RhiannonXX7 on 2/2/2005 11:12 PM While I try to not judge others, nor to assume that I know what they think or feel, I believe that the above statement is true for many people. Personally, I do not believe in 'institutional' religion. I was raised Catholic (including 12 years of Parochial schooling and active participation for 20 years or so) and have studied other religions. Subjectively, the very idea of 'godliness', spirituality, religiousness, whatever one might choose to name it, requires not only faith (belief in things you can not prove), but also the application of philosophy, both internally and externally. I find that my faith has much more meaningfulness and intensity in my life when applied this way. For me, living my life by doctrines imposed upon me by others was much easier than taking the time to determine standards for myself, and then to live each day, authentically, knowing whether I have met my own standards. Realizing that we are all in this together, that what I do may affect someone I have never even met, causes me to set standards that increase love and compassion, and decrease fear. ~Divine Essence

What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matters compared to what lies within us. --Ralph Waldo Emerson I love Emerson... Always do what you are afraid to do. I wish to say what I think and feel today, with the proviso that tomorrow perhaps I shall contradict it all. ~Divine Essence

If I Could Tell You..... Posted: 8/21/2005 1:30:30 PM
I really enjoyed your poem. Finding the courage to express my feelings to certain people has been a challenge in my life a lot...so I can completely identify with your poem. ~Divine Essence

Just a dream Posted: 8/21/2005 1:25:01 PM
Edward, I enjoyed your poem. You know, so many aspects of our lives are like this, because we see things as we want them to be, or as we think they should be...and then something happens to 'wake us up'. I hope you'll share more of your writing... ~Divine Essence

Subjective Confrontation Posted: 8/21/2005 1:10:03 PM
Dare I aspire To match the fire Of someone like you? A waste of dreams? My silence screams Dare I the trial to beguile one such as you? Desire envelops me Doubt engulfs me My brain has become a battlefield Simultaneous rivaling thoughts stampede Subjective confrontation Arrogance? or insecurity Risk, hazard, jeopardy…is it worth it Can I live without it Is denial possible, Without insanity The notion has been renounced Again, again, day after day Reason returns, life proceeds Then silently the contest resumes I cannot see the outcome Nor even state the cause The victor shall be decided By your actions

Mom's passing Posted: 8/21/2005 1:04:05 PM
Her final days here I sat softly beside her Missing her comfort At her journey’s end I quietly abided Recalling her strength As she passed away Unseen, I sat there Treasuring her love Jesus took her hand As I lingered, lost, Desolate, bereft
