maybe ...do they have science or motorsports on that channel? (NASCAR doesn't count)

It's a gorgeous day today.

true

the next poster likes to light incenses - for the smell and the sight.

True. As a testament to my hippie days, everytime I smell patchouli I get flashbacks to either girls I've known or my '67 E-Type Jag since I accidentally crushed a pack of patchouli incense in that car and it smelled like that from then on. I wish I still had that car.


There is a correlation between a broken heart and a damaged liver.

Ourcrazymodern?

True, unless you're insensitive.

rarefied air. Poem by Melora
-------------------------------------------

The moon is a monocle
And condensation obscures its vision
It can see us in slits, cracks, and crevices
Where our fingers have traced through
Mingling breaths of
Rarefied air
It views us through capsules
Capsizing where condensation ceases to congeal
Catalyzed where our faces are concealed
Behind panes of rarefied air.



The next poster thinks poetic thoughts, sometimes writes them down,
and hopefully will share them with us, joyfully.

dd3953

True.

i am

i am the color of dirt after the rain
i am the strength of a lion after being ripped from the womb
i am the confusion of a flower growing in a cave
i am the love of a child watching her parents being hung
i am the tenderness of a girl being beat for loving a woman
i am the anger of twelve men feeling the whip on a boat to the states
i am the speed of one of them running for his life
i am the justice that gives reparations to the Indians as well

i am not the majority
but i am what allows it to live

The next poster reads Neil Gaiman and enjoys it.

A few signs, but I keep putting off taking that class. (But I have seen The Big Lebowski at least four times.)

Which movie have you seen more times than any other?

....not that I'm a surfer or think it's the greatest movie or anything like that, but by some strange coincidence I've seen Endless Summer more times than any other movie.


If you can't beat em, join em.

(dd3953, that poem you wrote,is now a part of me, I read it many times over,
and tasted the numerous flavors of it, and I am certain, the next time I read
it, more will be revealed. Thank You.)

I write wherever and however and forever, for all.

The next writer will remember the thing that has been elusive.

dd3953

true and it's thanks to you, ring. The feeling that someone else can and will get something from your writing, find something of themselves in it, connect to it - having that happen, and remembering what it feels like when it does, sometimes that's hard to remember and hold on to. But it reminds (all writers I think) that we are not just writing for yourselves, but to give something to someone else.

So thanks.

The next poster has thought about what they will be wearing to their funeral.

Mother's Day is good for the flower and brunch industry but most mom's like the special attention anyway.

True. We love having three generations of gals together.

You haven't yet thought about someone's Mother's Day.

false, I'm wearing some kind of silly Simple shoe because one of their mottos is "shoes for a happy planet" and I fell for that line; though now that you reminded me, I need to buy new sandals. And Jetée, I would adopt you in a minute and love you, and not just because I could use another tax deduction.


The next poster will wear a tie to visit mom tomorrow.

ring

The memory of the original tie that we were connected to,
will never die.

The next poster has a beautiful smile.

Jetée

At one time
that might have been true
too bad it died—
along with me, too.

So as I now ponder
to give you a new query;
I wonder if at all
you know how to say hello in Kashmiri?

I dream of a universal tongue, where speech is not even necessary.
No I do not no of the Kashmiri...other than the word itself, sounds soft.

You have many answers, to questions you haven't even thought to ask.

kashmiri being northern indian...
