She comes out of the darkness with a light in her eyes. She's been lead here from a deep insistant yearning to become more than the mere human she sees in the mirror. She has desires for a connection with everything. Then, as she comes forward into the light, she realizes she IS a connected to everything. She is everything because everything is everything is everything. This knowledge awakens her soul's connection to her body and she is free like no other freedom she has ever known before.

How do you deal with people who have BAGGAGE Posted: 4/7/2007 7:12:12 AM
I agree with message #9. People dont have "baggage" solely from past relationships, but also from family experiences, school-time experiences, accidental trauma etc. We all get kicked around by life at times. It is a matter of how we deal with it and how well we heal from the emotional wounds inflicted by others and ourselves. Determining and accepting who we are is the number one lesson to master before taking on the idea of conjoining ourselves with another person. That includes figuring out where we are headed and what we are willing to handle BEFORE we decide to intertwine our life with someone else. Being afraid of emotional baggage stems from emotional baggage, too.

This poem was inspired by Love. I was writing an email, thinking about a book recommended to me called, "Into the Wild." My brain thought about the feeling of going into the wilderness of love and... ________________________ Into The Wild we go. With open eyes we see. With faithful heart we feel. Joyous souls lift we sing. With light inside we fly. With gentle sighs we dream. With outreached arms we touch. Connecting thoughts we know. Our love shines through we're home. _______________________ Currently, it remains untitled. I wrote it on October, 17th.

The sentiment is there. This is NOT an original work of my own. I tweaked it to be non-gender-specific and to be more grammatically correct than it was. I do not know its original author.

A short story delivered in a complete metaphor. ____________________________________________________________ Screeching Hault. ::: by ~S~ ::: ____________________________________________________________ The tires on the car come to a screeching hault and the engine sputters out. The driver's neck strains forward and backward again, faster than she can properly sustain. Luckily, no sounds of crashing metal. Silence and a darkened road eerily speak volumes. She's slumped in the seat; shaken, but not stirred. Taking in a deep breath, she looks around. She's alright. The car is alright. There are some witnesses, but that's alright. Nothing to be embarassed about, really now. She hesitates before turning the key in the ignition, but hey - no other way to get home than to move forward. She's definitely in a bit of a state of shock, but her breath returns. She straightens her back and alligns her shoulders in place. There's a burn that shoots like fire through her spine all the way down her leg to her big toe. Her neck really effing hurts, but that'll be alright. It will take a little bit to heal, but not enough for her to have to go to the doctor. She's felt this before. More herbage is needed, plus maybe a couple of stiff drinks to wish her to sleep. She's gonna be just fine after a few days. Perhaps she'll even venture out of her home more often and travel the open roads with more confidence. One never knows, until one knows.

Oven Fresh ::: by ~S~ ::: There is an opening in my chest, somewhere, a little to the left. I can feel it when I breathe. Like some barely familiar force is helping me take in life. It's got a flow, like a reverberating rocking chair. I feel almost numb, but I'm smiling a genuine grin. What a life, what a gift, what a way to exist. On the brink of insanity, I ride the wave of genius. Thanks to you winds of love and sands of time. Doesn't winter's sting let you know you're ALIVE? Or does the numbness get you to the core? I wouldn't know, because I tell ya, I am warm. Gooey in the middle and crispy on the outside... like a delicious special brownie.

Share :::by ~S~::: Dont side with me, because I am right. Dont listen to me, because I'm without sight. Dont forget me, because I'm here all the time. Dont berate me, because I bare all these ties. I derail train of thought, no matter the verse. I'm here... I'm there... this is no curse. Tread with me, bleed with me... show me you are real. If you dont, I just might, lose all sense of feel. Shut up. I dont fear you. Hold close. I dont need you. Speak truth. I cant see you. Dont move. I can feel you.

I do not wish to have Expositions of a Unique Soul as the thread of my poems etc. I'd rather have that entire thread deleted and begin a new thread. I tried posting a new poem in a new thread today. (called It's Kind of Like Breathing with a poem called Harmonious Progression Not Confining Possession) That one was deleted. Will someone please help me? Thanks, ~S~

'wave of mutilation' review pics n profile Posted: 12/23/2005 2:28:20 AM
I'll take you up on this: Wow. I wouldnt change a fawking thing, until you decide to put a different self-perspective out there (and you seem like the random and self-analytical type like that). You've put it out there... for all to see. Your grammatical errors and general messiness of typings seems to be indicitave of who you are, just as much as what you have to say. You deliver yourself with wit and a generally amusing (even if it is self-amusing) tone. Yep, I am impressed and if you're looking for what you could do to "improve responses" or anything. Fawking nothing is better than being real. If I was back in Texas... well... I'd bring over a j or something. You rock. peace

Whats with the Canadians?!?! Posted: 12/13/2005 4:12:09 PM
If I had my way, could twitch my nose, and be where I want to be... I'd be in B.C. (Vancouver, maybe) at this very moment. I'd be enrolled in massage school and visiting the cafe's daily. ;) Aaaah- to dream a dream. "Oh, Canada."

do you look at the profile before opening the email or not? Posted: 12/5/2005 11:25:59 PM
Looking before leaping into the message? Hmmm... I like to open the profile in a separate window. As it is loading, I read the email. Sometimes, if the username is especially catching or something, I'll read the profile first. There are times the subject line draws me to read the email immediately. There are times the subject line is so mundane and unoriginal, I'll just go straight to the profile, and come back to the email. See a pattern here? Nah? Me either. It is just waaaay too individual.

Using a lot of humor in 1st email Posted: 12/5/2005 11:10:46 PM
I am all about responding to the witty ones! Humor and intellect, mixed with personality, accentuated with kindness and randomness, and delivered with style--- oh yes --- various combinations will get at least SOME sort of reply! If your senses of humor mix well, well... that is a pretty big piece of getting along with someone. If you cant laugh together - how much are you really going to even SMILE? I scream, "SET YOUR HUMOR FREE!" Do not cage it up in reserves... spread it to the masses! If they dont "get it", eh, they wont "get" you.

ladies, what is your opinion of a dude who has some cool houseplants Posted: 12/5/2005 7:39:10 AM
Depends on the woman. I can only speak for myself, knowing there are plenty of people in the world who simply dont care at all. I like paying attention to whether or not one can manage pets, plants, or anything else alive (and not fungal) in their place. If there arent any, that's no biggie, but if there ARE (and they are all alive, healthy, thriving - even) it does put a smile on my face and add a brownie point or two. ;) If they are sickly things, though... that can definitely inspire a frown. Choose your plants carefully... personalize them to you and dont take on too much at once - that is my advice. Enjoy your greenery!

Quick advice please! Posted: 12/5/2005 7:11:41 AM
How about A flower and A note? Go see the flowers available... pick 1 simple, unforgetable flower... the one you see that just stands out to you... Pick that one. Write a simple note on the card... something short but direct, letting her know she stood out to you. (just dont forget to provide her your contact info) Hell, if it is in you to be poetic... tie it in with the way that flower made an impression to you above all other flowers. The worst that could happen is you're out a few dollars for your effort, you then have no "what-if's" to think about, and she feels flattered. The best... it could be the beginning of something that stands out to BOTH of you. Only one way to find out.

[columbus] a modest question for a free lunch. what is love? Posted: 12/4/2005 4:55:54 AM
A deepest feeling of warmth and fuzziness can be thrust into an even deeper feeling of fear and vulnerability. A thought of what could be can be slapped into submission by a thought of what could have been. A glance across the room can be as powerful as knife in your temple. A prism of light can show through the darkest rainy night. An answer to your heart's desire can be related to you the instant you hear, "I am sorry. I want you to stay. I want this to work," said with more conviction than a Southern Baptist minister (and felt even stronger when accompanied by a genuine embrace). After a long wet walk, your insides can curl up into a ball seeping with anguish and nothing can seem right with the world. On the other hand, an even longer warm cuddle can make that same world seem like a new world, full of possibilities. With one communicated realization, the fires that burn- fueled by pride and pain- can be squelched and the healing of the wounded can begin. A few simple words designed to make one want to stay can be the same words that cause them to feel the need to go. On the other side of the coin, a few more carefully chosen simplistic words can bring the feeling of comfort and safety and put to rest all "fight or flight" mechanisms in the brain. A laugh can send the heart to fly. A blush can express just how deeply a compliment reaches. A smile can encourage the most profound elation. An understanding can uncomplicate the most twisted knots. A hand to hold can be the savior of a lost inner child. An intensely felt reassurance can lay the foundation for the fountain of emotion to flow. Without love... without care... nothing would affect. No words or actions could heal or damage because no emotions would be touched. Without the feeling of love - the feeling of fear would not come into play and the fear would likely not subside until overpowered by love. Love can exist in variant degrees and have many labels thrust upon it, but it is all still love. ______________________________ You want a more direct "definition"? Love is what drives us to affect and be affected by those who are involved with our lives, no matter the length of time, nor the distance between the bodies.

Do You Men Read Our Whole Profiles? Posted: 11/5/2005 12:22:41 PM
I have recently removed all of my pictures from my profile. Amazingly enough... instead of 10-20 messages today... I only had 3 (and NO new ones). Funny how that works, eh? I'll put pictures up again, once I am ready to deal with the shallow end of the pond. :P Otherwise, I'd rather have someone actually READ my profile and then get my picture. Too many lower heads doing the thinking 'round here.

Party in Dallas Posted: 10/4/2005 9:22:35 PM
I am really thinking about going. Hey Filter: It is what you make of it, anyway... so those who decide there's not going to be anyone there for them, are likely to be right. Those who go just to get out and be social and maybe meet some people of interest, well, they've got a better chance of actually enjoying themselves. Let's just get together and have some fun, people!
