@athehequea: cows and buffalo? must've have missed these beasts...

@arcadia: let's have some mate while we think about it together!

jack, of course you are right - for some, god IS who or what defines their identity. all i was saying was that god is not what the middle eastern conflict is about - even though several people (also several people involved) think or pretend it was... and, no need to be sorry for anything! for me, it...

too much to comment on everything in this thread (even though i would like to; but to get into all this in depth would be a fulltime job)... here are some things i would like to mention, though: @doreen: palestine is a geographic name for a region that has historically been known (in whole or parts)...

exactly, steve - they may be both fruits, but are quite different in origin, substance and handling...

if it's brought you somewhere, it is good. a boat ain't a bad place to be. enjoy the winter water's lullaby, lao! and thanks.

winter trees we meet in the electric dawn of the declining year bare-faced bare-hearted and nude our branches naked unsecured roots shuddering in frozen earth and forest flow inside our bark warm like hope dreams of birth stark naked in cold winter air we shiver as our branches touch

jack, jack! late, but still from my heart:
a warm happy birthday to ya!

it is slow
